Tiivistelmä
The main purpose of the thesis was to compare the main requirements for design and construction of reinforced concrete structures given in three norms: Russian SNiP system, Eurocode 2 (EN1992) and Finnish regulations RakMK.
Nowadays the amount of cooperative projects in construction field between Russia and Finland is growing, so the knowledge of differences in requirements concerning designing and implementation of reinforced concrete structures became quite important. Also European norms will be soon applied in Finland so it is also important to reveal differences between requirements used in Finland nowadays and European norms.
The main issues regarding the design of reinforced concrete structures such as classification of concrete and steel, principles of reinforcement and tolerances for erected structures were determined, the requirements for those issues from different norms were found, studied and compared.
The study showed that there are no big differences between requirements for reinforcement detailing, but there are differences in the way of durability design and also different strength classification of concrete is applied.
