Course on concrete structures according to the EC (Structural Code)
INFORMATION (16-HOUR COURSE)
On 10-8-2021, ROYAL DECREE 470/2021, of 29 June, approving the Structural Code was published.
The new Structural Code that is approved is of an eminently technical nature and adopts a performance approach, in line with that used in other instructions and codes, such as the Technical Building Code, approved by Royal Decree 314/2006, of March 17, or the Instructions EHE-08 and EAE that are repealed by the approval of this royal decree, this makes it possible not to limit the range of possible solutions and encourages the use of new products and innovative techniques.
In this course we will address the modifications that affect the part of concrete structures.
TO WHOM IT IS ADDRESSED:
Technicians related to the calculation of concrete structures that require additional training of this structural part of the EC
OBJECTIVES:
Presentation of the EC: amendments introduced by Royal Decree 470/2021, general bases and parts and annexes relating to concrete structures.
Presentation of the most relevant and innovative aspects of this new code in terms of concrete structures.
Description and application of the methods of design and calculation of concrete sections and elements according to the EC.
Specifications of execution and quality control in concrete structures.
