Comparative Study of Standards EC2 ECP203 and CBA93 for the Design of a Rectangular Section

Abstract:

Because of the predominance of construction techniques, a solid knowledge of reinforced concrete principles and rules is necessary and crucial. This study focuses on a comparative studies of different sizing standards, the Euro Code 2,the Egyptian Code 203 and the Algerian Code 93 for a rectangular reinforced concrete section subjected to simple bending in limit states and is well supported on one hand by one of the determining factors in design and on the other hand by the economy and security. The comparison of sizing standards in the limit states will assist the designer in their choice of a suitable design code.
