EN 1992-1-1: 2004 (Eurocode 2) With TR43 Design

This chapter details RAM Concept ’s implementation of Eurocode 2 (EC2):2004.

This section describes two implementations of the code:

EC2 with the UK National Annex in conjunction with the TR-43 document for PT provisions
EC2 with the option to input the National Annex parameters

The version that is utilized by RAM Concept is controlled using the Code selection. Selecting Eurocode 2-2004 (UK Annex) will activate the UK Annex option (with TR-43), while selecting Eurocode 2-2004 will activate the EC2 code with input National Annex parameters (also referred to as Generic National Annex). When Eurocode 2-2004 is active, you can access the annex factors by selecting Criteria > EC2 Annex.
