Differences between BS8110 and CP65
The following are the technical differences between the implementation of CP 65 and BS 8110 in RAM Concrete Wall.
- In CP 65, the concrete shear capacity without shear reinforcement (vc) given in Table 3.9 differs from that in BS 8110.
- In CP 65, the minimum allowable concrete strength in structural concrete is 30N/mm² as opposed to 25N/mm² in BS 8110.
- It should also be noted that the partial safety factor for reinforcement γm is 1.15 in CP 65 which is equal to that used in BS 8110-1:1997 Amendment 3.
