Where can I find these equations and design charts for concrete columns in Eurocode 2? 2

[Pretty Girl]

The following reinforcement chart found in a book, is for the calculation of area of steel required, for concrete columns for Eurocode2.

However, I also found some other equations as well which can be used instead of the above charts (from a video).

My questions are

1. Where can I find those equations and the charts above (the clause numbers/page number etc) in `Eurocode` or any other `british standard (8110)` etc, I didn't notice them in those.

2. I prefer to use the equations, but some books mention it's not realistically possible to directly calculate the values through equations only, what is the reason. Is it because the equations outputs inaccurate results?

3. Is there any other equations that I can use to avoid using the charts (in accordance with eurocode or british standards).

it's not realistically possible to directly calculate the values through equations only,

I can only imagine that came from a pretty old book, from the days of slide rules.

With the aid of a spreadsheet (or preferred number processor) you can set up formulas that are both faster and more accurate than using tables or graphs.

My responds to your questions ;

1- You may look to the books ;

- Design aids for EC2 ;Design of concrete structures Eurocode 2, part 1 Betonvereniging The Concrete Society,
- How to Design Concrete Structures using Eurocode 2 (cement and concrete industry publication )
- Worked examples Eurocode 2 ( by Goodchild )
- INTRODUCTION TO EUROCODE 2 Design of concrete structures (including seismic actions) by Derrick Beckett

3- Which books mention it's not realistically possible to directly calculate the values ? Probably very old books suggesting the use of slide rule ?


3- You may prefer equations . The column reinf chart is also obtained from that equations. But consider the use of software.. there are reinf. softwares .

Thanks a lot for the information and the book references. I will go through the books.
