Brilliant Laurin, great work as always!

There are many interesting discussions to be had around capacity based checks and how different governing bodies deal with them. The Eurocode approach is very different to what we use in Canada and the US in a few areas but mainly in their underlying design philosophies, levels of conservatism, and approaches to incorporating probabilistic analysis.

I appreciate how Eurocodes emphasize Performance-Based Design, it's more adaptable and easier to find efficiencies on different projects but it does lead to more subjectivity, for better or worse.

Looking forward to the reinforced concrete series!!

Thanks James.

Always appreciate your viewpoint.

Looking forward to hearing your opinions about the Eurocode approaches as you know 2 codes and can compare the differences.
