Design of concrete wall at ultimate limit state based on eurocode 2

Concrete wall is a structural element that together with other elements constitute the structural construction. A structural element can be regarded as a wall when the length to thickness ratio is four or more. Concrete walls have the task to withstand the loads which the construction is exposed to and conduct  them safely to the foundation. In most cases the concrete walls even contribute to the structural stability.

The concrete wall shall therefore be designed at ultimate limit state based on eurocode 2 in order to have sufficient bearing capacity. Design at ultimate limit state signifies selection of dimensions, material qualities and other parameters which have effect to the bearing capacity of the entire building.

The website provides to structural engineers (professionals and students) in the construction sector free-online web app for design of concrete wall for axial force and moment based on eurocode 2 (swedish standards). It has been tested and verified by experienced civil engineers that the calculation result is accurate. However, despite considerable effort we cannot exclude the possibility that an error exists. The results should therefore always be verified by a qualified engineer.
