EUROCODE 2 applies to the design of buildings and civil engineering works in plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete. EUROCODE 2 complies with the principles and requirements for the safety and serviceability of structures, the basis of their design and verification that are given in EN 1990: Basis of structural design.

EUROCODE 2 is only concerned with the requirements for resistance, serviceability, durability and fire resistance of concrete structures. Other requirements, e.g. concerning thermal or sound insulation, are not considered.

EUROCODE 2 is intended to be used jointly with:

  • EN 1990 „Basis of structural design“;
  • EN 1991 „Actions on structures“;
  • ENV 13670 „Execution of concrete structures“;
  • EN 1997 „Geotechnical design“;
  • EN 1998 „Design of structures for earthquake resistance, when concrete structures are built in seismic regions” and
  • ENs, ETAGs and ETAs to be applied to concrete, reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures.
