Eurocodes Expert Structural Eurocodes offer the opportunity of harmonized design standards for the European construction market and the rest of the world. To achieve this, the construction industry needs to become acquainted with the Eurocodes so that the maximum advantage can be taken of these opportunities Eurocodes Expert is a new ICE and Thomas Telford initiative set up to assist in creating a greater awareness of the impact and implementation of the Eurocodes within the UK construction industry Eurocodes Expert provides a range of products and services to aid and support the transition to Eurocodes. For comprehensive and useful information on the adoption of the Eurocodes and their implementation process please visit our website or email [email protected]

Preface Aims and objectives of this guide The principal aim of this book is to provide the user with guidance on the interpretation and use of EN 1992-2 and to present worked examples. It covers topics that will be encountered in typical concrete bridge designs and explains the relationship between EN 1992-2 and the other Eurocodes. EN 1992-2 is not a ‘stand alone’ document and refers extensively to other Eurocodes. Its format is based on EN 1992-1-1 and generally follows the same clause numbering. It identifies which parts of EN 1992-1-1 are relevant for bridge design and adds further clauses that are specific to bridges. It is therefore not useful to produce guidance on EN 1992-2 in isolation and so this guide covers material in EN 1992-1-1 which will need to be used in bridge design. This book also provides background information and references to enable users of Eurocode 2 to understand the origin and objectives of its provisions.

Layout of this guide EN 1992-2 has a foreword, 13 sections and 17 annexes. This guide has an introduction which corresponds to the foreword of EN 1992-2, Chapters 1 to 10, which correspond to Sections 1 to 10 of the Eurocode and Annexes A to Q which again correspond to Annexes A to Q of the Eurocode. The guide generally follows the section numbers and first sub-headings in EN 1992-2 so that guidance can be sought on the code on a section by section basis. The guide also follows the format of EN 1992-2 to lower levels of sub-heading in cases where this can conveniently be done and where there is sufficient material to merit this. The need to use several Eurocode parts can initially make it a daunting task to locate information in the order required for a real design. In some places, therefore, additional sub-sections are included in this guide to pull together relevant design rules for individual elements, such as pile caps. Additional sub-sections are identified as such in the sub-section heading. The following parts of the Eurocode are intended to be used in conjunction with Eurocode 2: EN 1990: EN 1991: EN 1997: EN 1998: hENs: EN 13670:

Basis of structural design Actions on structures Geotechnical design Design of structures for earthquake resistance Construction products relevant for concrete structures Execution (construction) of concrete structures

These documents will generally be required for a typical concrete bridge design, but discussion on them is generally beyond the scope of this guide.

DESIGNERS’ GUIDE TO EN 1992-2

In this guide, references to Eurocode 2 are made by using the abbreviation ‘EC2’ for EN 1992, so EN 1992-1-1 is referred to as EC2-1-1. Where clause numbers are referred to in the text, they are prefixed by the number of the relevant part of EC2. Hence: . . . .

2-2/clause 6.3.2(6) means clause 6.3.2, paragraph (6), of EC2-2 2-1-1/clause 6.2.5(1) means clause 6.2.5, paragraph (1), of EC2-1-1 2-2/Expression (7.22) means equation (7.22) in EC2-2 2-1-1/Expression (7.8) means equation (7.8) in EC2-1-1.

Note that, unlike in other guides in this series, even clauses in EN 1992-2 itself are prefixed with ‘2-2’. There are so many references to other parts of Eurocode 2 required that to do otherwise would be confusing. Where additional equations are provided in the guide, they are numbered sequentially within each sub-section of a main section so that, for example, the third additional expression within sub-section 6.1 would be referenced equation (D6.1-3). Additional figures and tables follow the same system. For example, the second additional figure in section 6.4 would be referenced Figure 6.4-2.

Acknowledgements Chris Hendy would like to thank his wife, Wendy, and two boys, Peter Edwin Hendy and Matthew Philip Hendy, for their patience and tolerance of his pleas to finish ‘just one more section’. David Smith would like to thank his wife, Emma, for her limitless patience during preparation of this guide. He also acknowledges the continued support of Brian and Rosalind Ruffell-Ward from the very beginning. Both authors would also like to thank their employer, Atkins, for providing both facilities and time for the production of this guide.

CHAPTER 7

Serviceability limit states This chapter deals with the design at service limit states of members as covered in section 7 of EN 1992-2 in the following clauses: . . . .

General Stress limitation Crack control Deflection control

Clause 7.1 Clause 7.2 Clause 7.3 Clause 7.4

An additional section 7.5 is included to discuss early thermal cracking.

7.1. General EN 1992-2 section 7 covers only the three serviceability limit states relating to clause 7.2 to 7.4 above. 2-1-1/clause 7.1(1)P notes that other serviceability limit states ‘may be of importance’. EN 1990/A2.4 is relevant in this respect. It covers partial factors, serviceability criteria, design situations, comfort criteria, deformations of railway bridges and criteria for the safety of rail traffic. Most of its provisions are qualitative but some recommended values are given in various Notes, as guidance for National Annexes. EN 1990 is of general relevance. From clause 6.5.3 of EN 1990, the relevant combination of actions for serviceability limit states is ‘normally’ either the characteristic, frequent, or quasi-permanent combination. These are all used in EC2-2 and the general forms of these combinations, together with examples of use, are given in Table 7.1, but reference to section 2 and Annex A2 of EN 1990 is recommended for a detailed explanation of the expressions and terms. Specific rules for the combinations of actions (e.g. actions that need not be considered together), recommended combination factors and partial safety factors for bridge design are also specified in Annex A2 of EN 1990. Section 2 of this guide gives further commentary on the basis of design and the use of partial factors and combinations of actions. The general expressions in Table 7.1 have been simplified assuming that partial factors of 1.0 are used throughout for all actions at the serviceability limit state, as recommended in Annex A2 of EN 1990, but they may be varied in the National Annex. Appropriate methods of global analysis for determining design action effects are discussed in detail in section 5. For serviceability limit state verification, the global analysis may be either elastic without redistribution (clause 5.4) or non-linear (clause 5.7). Elastic global analysis is most commonly used and it is not normally then necessary to consider the effects of cracking within it – section 5.4 refers. 2-1-1/clause 7.1(2) permits an un-cracked concrete cross-section to be assumed for stress and deflection calculation provided that the flexural tensile stress under the relevant combination of actions considered does not exceed fct;eff . fct;eff may be taken as either fctm

DESIGNERS’ GUIDE TO EN 1992-2

Table 7.1. Combinations of actions for serviceability limit states Combination

Notes

Characteristic

Combination of actions with a fixed (small) probability of being exceeded during normal operation within the structure’s design life, e.g. combination appropriate to checks on stress in reinforcement as it is undesirable for inelastic deformation of reinforcement to occur at any time during the service life.

Frequent

Combination of actions with a fixed probability of being exceeded during a reference period of a few weeks, e.g. combination used for checks of cracking and decompression in prestressed bridges with bonded tendons.

Quasipermanent

Combination of actions expected to be exceeded approximately 50% of the time, i.e. a time-based mean. For example, combination appropriate to crack width checks in reinforced concrete members on the basis that durability is influenced by average crack widths, not the worst crack width ever experienced.

or fctm;fl but should be consistent with the value used in the calculation of minimum tension reinforcement (see section 7.3). For the purpose of calculating crack widths and tension stiffening effects, fctm should be used.

7.2. Stress limitation

2-1-1/clause 7.2(1)P 2-2/clause 7.2(102)

226

Stresses in bridges are limited to ensure that under normal conditions of use, assumptions made in design models (e.g. linear-elastic behaviour) remain valid, and to avoid deterioration such as the spalling of concrete or excessive cracking leading to a reduction of durability. For persistent design situations, it is usual to check stresses soon after the opening of the bridge to traffic, when little creep has occurred, and also at a later time when creep and shrinkage are substantially complete. This affects the loss of prestress in prestressed structures and the modular ratio for stress and crack width calculation in reinforced concrete structures. It may be necessary to include part of the long-term shrinkage effects in the first check, because up to half of the long-term shrinkage can occur in the first 3 months after the end of curing of the concrete. Calculation of an effective concrete modulus allowing for creep is discussed below. 2-1-1/clause 7.2(1)P requires compressive stresses in the concrete to be limited to avoid longitudinal cracking, micro-cracking or excessive creep. The first two can lead to a reduction of durability. 2-2/clause 7.2(102) addresses longitudinal cracking by requiring the stress level under the characteristic combination of actions to not exceed a limiting value of k1 fck (for areas with exposure classes of XD, XF or XS), where k1 is a nationally determined parameter with recommended value of 0.6. The clause identifies that the limit can be increased where specific measures are taken, such as increasing the cover to reinforcement (from the minimum values discussed in section 4) or by providing confinement by transverse reinforcement. The improvement from confining reinforcement is quantified as an increase in allowable stress of 10%, but this may be varied in the National Annex. The design of this reinforcement is not covered by EC2-2, but the strut-and-tie rules in 2-2/clause 6.5 and discussions in section 6.5 of this guide are relevant. Such reinforcement would need to operate at low stresses to have any significant effect in limiting the width of compression-induced cracks. Micro-cracking typically begins to develop in concrete where the compressive stress exceeds approximately 70% of the compressive strength. Given the limits above to control longitudinal cracking, no further criteria are given to control micro-cracking.

2-1-1/clause 7.2(3) addresses non-linear creep as covered by 2-2/clause 3.1.4(4). It requires non-linear creep to be considered where the stress under the quasi-permanent combination of actions exceeds k2 fck , where k2 is a nationally determined parameter with recommended value of 0.45. 2-2/clause 3.1.4(4) gives the same limiting stress, but it is not subject to national variation in that clause so must be deemed to take precedence. 2-1-1/clause 7.2(4)P requires stresses in reinforcement and prestressing steel to be limited to ensure inelastic deformations of the steel are avoided under serviceability loads, which could result in excessive concrete crack widths and invalidate the assumptions on which the calculations within EC2 for cracking and deflections are based. 2-1-1/clause 7.2(5) requires that the tensile stress in reinforcement under the characteristic combination of actions does not exceed k3 fyk . Where the stress is caused by imposed deformations, the tensile stress should not exceed k4 fyk , although it will be rare for tensile stress to exist solely from imposed deformations. The mean value of stress in prestressing tendons should not exceed k5 fpk . The values of k3 , k4 and k5 are nationally determined parameters and are recommended to be taken as 0.8, 1.0 and 0.75 respectively. The higher stress limit for reinforcement tension under indirect actions reflects the ability for stresses to be shed upon concrete cracking. The following method can be used to determine stresses in cracked reinforced concrete beams and slabs. The concrete modulus to use for section analysis depends on the ratio of permanent (long-term) actions to variable (short-term) actions. The short-term modulus is Ecm and the long-term modulus is Ecm =ð1 þ
Þ. The effective concrete modulus for a combination of long-term and short-term actions can be taken as: Ec;eff ¼
