Reinforced Concrete Design | Topic 2: RC Section, Part 3 – Design Using Charts | Eurocode 2

Welcome to our series on Reinforced Concrete Design to Eurocode 2. In this lecture, Topic 2: Reinforced Concrete Section, Part 3, we explore how design charts are used to determine the steel reinforcement required for singly-reinforced concrete sections. 📌 In this lecture, we: ✅ Explain the basis of dimensionless design charts for singly-reinforced sections ✅ Demonstrate the ICE and IStructE design manual chart styles ✅ Show how to use charts to find x/d and z/d ratios, lever arm, and area of steel ✅ Work through a practical design example for a concrete beam with 15% moment redistribution ✅ Compare results obtained using ICE and IStructE charts and discuss minor differences 🏢 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 #DesignCharts #ICEManual #IStructEManual #SteelReinforcement #FlexuralDesign #RCDesign #EngineeringEducation
