INFORMATION (16-HOUR COURSE)
On 10-8-2021, the Royal Decree 470/2021, of 29 June, approving the Structural Code was published.
The new Structural Code that is being approved is eminently technical in 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Technical Building Code, approved by Royal Decree 314/2006, of 17 March, or the EHE-08 and EAE Instructions that are repealed by the approval of this Royal Decree, which means that the range of possible solutions is not limited and encourages the use of new products and innovative techniques.
In this course we will deal with modifications affecting the part of concrete structures.
TO WHOM IT IS ADDRESSED:
Technicians involved in the design of concrete structures requiring additional training in this structural part of the EC.
OBJECTIVES:
Presentation of the EC: modifications introduced by R.D. 470/2021, general bases and parts and annexes relating to concrete structures.
Presentation of the most relevant and novel aspects of this new code on concrete structures.
Description and application of design and calculation methods for concrete sections and elements according to EC.
Performance specifications and quality control for concrete structures.
