Abstract
Large-span reinforced concrete structures present unique design challenges that necessitate meticulous consideration of load-bearing capacity, deflection control, reinforcement, and material choices. For spans exceeding 10 meters, structural engineers must carefully apply the principles and recommendations of Eurocode 2 to ensure that the structure is safe, functional, and durable. This paper explores the critical aspects of designing large single spans in reinforced concrete beam- column systems using Eurocode, with a focus on load distribution, reinforcement detailing, deflection limits, and material properties. Practical insights into the implementation of these guidelines are provided through examples, offering structural engineers in Nigeria a comprehensive approach to achieving safe and cost- effective long-span structures.
