Foreword The introduction of European standards is a significant event as, for the first time, all design and construction codes within the EU will be harmonized. These Eurocodes will affect all design and construction activities. The aim of this publication, Design of reinforced concrete sections according to EN 1992-1-1 and EN 1992-2, is to illustrate how the Code is treated on practical examples. In order to explain the use of all relevant clauses of Eurocode 2, an example of a simply supported oneway rib-shaped slab and an example of column with high axial load and bi-axial bending is introduced.

1.3. Ultimate section resistance The cross section resistance (capacity) is the calculation of stress, strain and internal forces status on the calculated cross section for its limit state. For concrete the stress-strain relation is assumed to bi-linear. For reinforcing steel the stress-strain relation is assumed to be bi-linear without strain hardening.
