EC2 Concrete Design: Check for Serviceability

Section 7 of the EC2 is not implemented in STAAD.Pro.

Ok Sir but in the staad output file there is a deflection check, how does STAAD calculate this? If Section 7 of EN 1992 is not implemented? (see screenshot of the deflection check)

Thanks

You were asking about the RC Designer, not the batch mode.

I thought sec 7 was totally left out in STAAD as per your comment. So only in the RC DESIGN but in the batch mode it is considered? right?. Ok thanks clear enough

EC2 was removed from the batch mode in the recent STAAD.Pro versions. In the older versions, the old EC2 code (EC2 ENV 1992-1-1:1991 ) was implemented only. So if you want to use EN 1992-1-1:2004, RC Designer should be used. Please note that a new solution for the concrete design is available now which is called STAAD Advanced Concrete Design RCDC and which is capable of designing concrete elements as per EC2:2004. However, this requires a separate license.

And one more thing, but sorry if not related with the above query i just don't want to create another thread just need a simple and straightforward answer.I'm designing a prestress beam and when i use RC designer i noticed that the steel area required doesn't change compared to that of no additional prestressing force? Why?

Thanks
