Abstract:
This paper provides an outline of the provisions for design for serviceability given in the current version of Eurocode 2; the Eurocode for the design of concrete structures. The provisions for stress limitation and crack control are outlined briefly together with some of the reasoning behind them. A more detailed description of the background and content of the clauses dealing with the control of deflection are given.
