Understanding how the original designer modelled an existing building can be helpful in grasping the assumed and, therefore, designed for behaviour of the building.
In this webinar, expert speakers provide an update on the second generation of Eurocode 2 to frame the conversation, before delving into historical modelling methods, such as tabular techniques, yield line analysis, moment redistribution and stability, and providing invaluable insights into assessing the assumed behaviour of structures.
The focus then shifts towards modern tools to analyse concrete buildings, with a case study showcasing best practices to appropriately use them.
