Overview

SIST EN 1992-2:2005, also known as Eurocode 2 - Design of Concrete Structures - Part 2: Concrete Bridges - Design and Detailing Rules, is a European standard that provides comprehensive design and detailing guidelines specifically for concrete bridges. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), this standard complements Eurocode 2 Part 1 (EN 1992-1-1) by introducing additional and varied requirements tailored for road, rail, and footbridges constructed with reinforced or prestressed concrete.

The standard establishes principles focused on safety, serviceability, and durability for bridge structures, taking into account both normal and lightweight aggregates. It uses the limit state design philosophy, incorporating a partial factor method to ensure appropriate reliability throughout the design and construction stages.

Key Topics

SIST EN 1992-2:2005 covers a wide range of topics essential for modern concrete bridge construction, including:

  • Scope and Application: Incorporates specific provisions for bridges while maintaining the general rules from EN 1992-1-1.
  • Structural Materials: Details requirements for concrete (including strength classes) and reinforcing steel (such as ductility characteristics).
  • Durability and Cover: Sets out criteria for concrete cover to reinforcement, considering environmental exposure and long-term effects like water penetration and abrasion.
  • Structural Analysis: Addresses modeling methods, load cases and combinations, geometric imperfections, and analysis techniques (linear elastic, plastic, and non-linear).
  • Ultimate and Serviceability Limit States: Specifies procedures for verifying the bridge’s strength and performance, including checks for bending, shear, torsion, fatigue, and crack control.
  • Detailing Rules: Provides detailed instructions for reinforcement, prestressing tendons, and precast elements, ensuring robust design and construction practices.
  • Special Concrete Types: Includes separate guidelines for lightweight aggregate, plain, and lightly reinforced concrete structures.
  • National Annex: Allows for country-specific adaptations, particularly for exposure classes, material values, and reliability parameters.

Applications

SIST EN 1992-2:2005 is applicable to the structural design and detailing of:

  • Road bridges: Conventional and complex reinforced or prestressed concrete bridges carrying vehicular traffic.
  • Rail bridges: Infrastructure supporting train loads, where vibration and dynamic effects are significant.
  • Footbridges: Pedestrian bridges where serviceability and safety remain paramount.
  • Precast and prestressed concrete elements: Ensures compatibility with modern construction methods.
  • Special bridge components: Such as deep beams, columns, foundations, and structural ties.

The standard is highly valued by:

  • Bridge designers and civil engineers
  • Construction firms specializing in infrastructure projects
  • Authorities and regulatory bodies setting project specifications
  • Committees drafting related standards for products, testing, and execution

The clear, harmonized rules introduced in SIST EN 1992-2:2005 support uniform quality and safety across bridge projects, helping stakeholders achieve compliance with both European and national requirements.

Related Standards

For best results, SIST EN 1992-2:2005 should be used in conjunction with several other key standards in bridge and concrete design, including:

  • EN 1992-1-1 (Eurocode 2 Part 1-1): General rules for concrete structures
  • EN 1990 (Eurocode - Basis of Structural Design)
  • EN 1991 (Eurocode 1 - Actions on Structures)
  • EN 1997 (Eurocode 7 - Geotechnical Design)
  • EN 1998 (Eurocode 8 - Seismic Design)

Additional informative annexes within EN 1992-2 provide guidance on specialized topics such as creep, shrinkage, fatigue, and the analysis of particular bridge situations.

By adhering to SIST EN 1992-2:2005, bridge projects benefit from enhanced structural integrity, longevity, safety, and alignment with European construction best practices.

The strength classes (C) in this code are denoted by the characteristic cylinder strength fckdetermined at 28 days with a minimum value of Cmin and a maximum value of Cmax.NOTEThe values of Cmin and Cmax for use in a Country may be found in its National Annex. The recommendedvalues are C30/37 and C70/85 respectively.3.1.6Design compressive and tensile strengths(101)P
The value of the design compressive strength is defined asfcd = αcc fck/γC(3.15)

The value of the design tensile strength, fctd, is defined as:fctd = αct fctk,0,05/γCwhere:γCis the partial safety factor for concrete, see 2.4.2.4, andαctis a coefficient taking account of long term effects on the tensile strength and of unfavourable effects,resulting from the way the load is applied.NOTEThe value of αct for use in a Country should lie between 0,80 and 1,00 and may be found in its NationalAnnex.

The reinforcement shall have adequate ductility as defined by the ratio of tensile strength to the yieldstress, (ft/fy)k and the elongation at maximum force, εuk.NOTEThe classes of reinforcement to be used in bridges in a Country may be found in its National Annex. Therecommended classes are Class B and Class C.

In considering the combinations of actions (see Section 6 and Annex A2 of EN 1990) the relevant loadcases shall be considered to enable the critical design conditions to be established at all sections, within thestructure or part of the structure considered.NOTESimplifications to the load arrangements for use in a Country may be found in its National Annex.Recommendations on simplifications are not given in this standard.5.2 Geometric imperfections(104)The provisions of (105) and (106) of this Part and (7) of EN 1992-1-1 apply to members with axialcompression and structures with vertical load. Numerical values are related to normal execution deviations(Class 1 in EN 13670). Where other execution deviations apply numerical values should be adjustedaccordingly.(105)Imperfections may be represented by an inclination, θl, given byθl = θ0 αh(5.101)whereθ0is the basic valueαhis the reduction factor for length or height:αh = l2; αh ≤ 1lis the length or height [m]NOTEThe value of θ0 to use in a Country may be found in its National Annex. The recommended value is 1/200.(106)For arch bridges, the shape of imperfections in the horizontal and vertical planes should be based onthe shape of the first horizontal and vertical buckling mode shape respectively. Each mode shape may beidealised by a sinusoidal profile. The amplitude should be taken as 2llθ=a, where l is the half wavelength.(8) and (9) of EN 1992-1-1 do not apply.5.3 Idealisation of the structure5.3.1 Structural models for overall analysis(2) and (6) of EN 1992-1-1 do not apply5.3.2 Geometric data5.3.2.2Effective span of beams and slabsNOTE(1), (2) and (3) of EN 1992-1-1 apply despite the fact that the title of the clause refers to buildings.
