VERIFICATION OF STRENGTH: LIMIT STATES S STR AND GEO
Verification of strength Verification of strength is expressed in Eurocode 7 by: E d R E d = design effect of actions R d = design resistance corresponding to that effect Applies to GEO: Failure or excessive deformation of the ground, in which the strength of soil or rock is significant in providing resistance d EN 1997 1 2.4.7.1(1)P EN 1997 1 2.4 4.7.1(1 1)P and to STR: Internal failure or excessive deformation of the structure or structural elements in which the strength of structural materials is significant in providing resistance EN 1997 1 2.4.7.1(1)P Oct-10 Decoding Eurocode 7 2005-10 Geocentrix Ltd.

SOME TECHNICAL DETAILS
Design strength of concrete Design compressive strength of concrete is: f = α f γ cd cc ck c f ck = characteristic compressive strength of concrete (from cylinder tests) γ c = partial factor for concrete in compression α cc = factor for long term effects on compressive strength and unfavourable effects resulting from the way the load is applied Design tensile strength of concrete is: f f f 23 ctd = αct ctk,0.05 γc = 0.21 αct ck γc f ctk,0.05 05 = characteristic tensile strength of concrete (5% fractile value) α ct = factor for long term effects on tensile strength, etc. [f ck has units of MPa in this expression] EN 1992 1 1 EX XP (3.15 5 3.16 ) & TA BLE 3.1 Oct-10 Decoding Eurocodes 2+7 2010 Geocentrix Ltd and Modulus Structural Engineering Ltd 21
