Abstract

Upgrading are desired Changes on any standard in operation. Meanwhile context understanding are required to achieve positive impact on the subject system. In same vein, codes of practice are always revised and that users should be made to use the latest edition of any relevant standard. Thus a model is developed to describe the sectional analysis difference with predicting implications of various combinations of sectional dimensions in structural reinforced concrete elements with reference to the two codes. The method adopted is purely mathematical technique of modeling, concept and application. Based on the previous behavioural knowledge of such using BS code, Okeniyi et al (2012), a concrete rectangular section of singly reinforced status was also used as a case study. The section was analyzed from stress-strain relationship to formulate the governing equations and the same was specified by breadth b, total depth h and moment of resistance M R . This was simulated to describe the relationship between the variable parameters and predict the behavior of a rectangular section under loads with reference to British Standard and Euro Code. The model, thus defines clearly sectional analysis difference increasing understanding for better structural design skill.

Highlights

1.0 INTRODUCTION British Standard and Euro Code are both civil engineering and building structural standards prepared as guide lines to cover structural design operations (Neville, 2000)
The first of the objectives of the most recent methods of structural design known as ‘limit state’ emphasized that a particular engineering structure must be safe under worst condition of loadings
Reinforced rectangular section is as well considered under bending action at balance condition of ultimate limit state

Summary

Introduction

INTRODUCTION British Standard and EuroCode are both civil engineering and building structural standards prepared as guide lines to cover structural design operations (Neville, 2000). Though the two provide clear and honest introduction to the basic principle and methods design for con The Issues and communications between structural engineers about a particular element is usually its behaviour under actions of load. The first of the objectives of the most recent methods of structural design known as ‘limit state’ emphasized that a particular engineering structure must be safe under worst condition of loadings. This requirement among others must be met, no matter how difficult the task of estimating the loads and variation in the strength of the concrete and steel. Analysis of a structural element at the ultimate limit state is normally performed for loadings corresponding to that state
