Abstract
The conventional method of design of reinforced concrete structures commonly used in
Nigeria is the BS 8110 method. This project shO\S a comparative stud~ of BS 8110 and
Eurocode 2 for the design or reinforced concrete elements of a building Vith the aim of
determining "hich of the two codes provides the most economic design is carried out
using manual calculations. A library complex of three storey building was selected and
designed taking into account dead and live loads and assuming all :;pans to be loaded
with 4KN /m2 as the imposed load. The result of the analysis was used to design the
structural clements based on both codes using manual calculatinns. The percentage
difference hetween the areas of steel required by the two codes was calculated with the
BS 8110 co(k results as the control values and the total weight uf steel required. It ,as found that Furocodcs arc more economical than the BS codes.
