Standart Method of Detailing Structural Concrete
A manual for best practice
Third Edition
June 2006 202 Pages
used in conjunction with the normal design codes and manuals for work in
structural design offices. The objective has been to provide ‘good practice’
guidance within a working document on structural concrete that can be
used to interpret the designer’s instructions in the form of drawings and
schedules for communication to the site.
This edition considers the effects of Eurocode 2 on detailing principles and
materials and attempts to provide guidance consistent with the Eurocodes.
In addition, recent changes in practices and procurement of detailing
services have been considered, such as the development of increased
off-site fabrication and detailing being undertaken later in the construction
sequence through initiatives such as contractor detailing.
The information and advice is based on Eurocodes and UK practice, which
is associated with UK materials and labour costs. The principles and details
are relevant for use in most parts of the world with only minor adjustment.
As with the original Standard method, the Steering Group was formed
from members of both the Institution of Structural Engineers and the
Concrete Society. Views have been taken from a wide consultation
on the drafts prepared. All have been considered in finalising the
document. Consequently the document reflects the current concerns and
developments in the field of detailing.
The Steering Group is grateful for the funding provided by the Department
of Trade & Industry in support of this project.
