Reinforced Concrete Design | Topic 2: RC Section, Part 2 – Design by Calculations | Eurocode 2

Welcome to our series on Reinforced Concrete Design to Eurocode 2. In this lecture, Topic 2: Reinforced Concrete Section, Part 2, we demonstrate how the principles and assumptions introduced in Part 1 are applied in the design of reinforced concrete sections using calculations. 📌 In this lecture, we: ✅ Define design vs analysis and their applications in new and existing structures ✅ Explain the rectangular stress block method for singly-reinforced sections ✅ Derive expressions for compression force, tension force, lever arm, and moment of resistance ✅ Show how to calculate required steel area and select appropriate bar diameters ✅ Discuss minimum spacing requirements for reinforcement and practical considerations ✅ Compare rectangular vs parabolic-rectangular stress block distributions and their impact on design 🏢 This series has been developed by Dr Leon Chernin and Dr Margi Vilnay. 👷‍♀️ Delivered by Dr Margi Vilnay – Senior Lecturer in Structural Engineering, Chartered Engineer, and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. 🔎 Follow the full Reinforced Concrete Design series 📚 Check out the complete playlist for all lectures: https://bit.ly/3JWCPGy 👉 Subscribe for more lectures like this! #ReinforcedConcrete #RCSection #ConcreteDesign #Eurocode2 #StructuralEngineering #CivilEngineering #EngineeringLectures #StressBlockMethod #SinglyReinforced #SteelReinforcement #FlexuralResistance #RCDesign #EngineeringEducation
