Differences between BS8110 and CP65

The following are the technical differences between the implementation of CP 65 and BS 8110 in RAM Concrete Wall.

  1. In CP 65, the concrete shear capacity without shear reinforcement (vc) given in Table 3.9 differs from that in BS 8110.
  2. In CP 65, the minimum allowable concrete strength in structural concrete is 30N/mm² as opposed to 25N/mm² in BS 8110.
  3. 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.
