Overview: This publication is a standard reference for work in structural design offices - to be used in conjunction with the normal design codes and manuals. It provides guidance on good practice and is a working document on structural concrete that can be used to interpret the designer’s instructions in the form of drawings and schedules for communication to the site.This edition considers, as far as possible, the effects of Eurocode 2 on detailing principles and materials and attempts to provide guidance consistent with the Eurocodes. Changes in practices and procurement of detailing services have been considered, such as the development of increased off-site fabrication and detailing being undertaken later in the construction sequence through initiatives such as contractor detailing.
