    GEN NX Webinar Series
    Designing RC Buildings Using Eurocode 2
    with the South African National Annex (SANS 51992-1-1)
    📅 2nd & 9th April, 2026 | 🕛 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM (SAST) | 📍 Live On GoToWebinar
       
    📑Overview

    South Africa is aligning reinforced concrete design practices with Eurocode 2 through SANS 51992-1-1, introducing a framework widely used across Europe and many international engineering projects. For structural engineers working in building design, understanding how the Eurocode framework integrates with the South African National Annex is essential for practical implementation.
     
    This technical webinar will explore the core principles of reinforced concrete building design using Eurocode 2 together with the South African National Annex, focusing on practical engineering considerations such as material factors, load combinations, durability requirements, crack control, and structural detailing.
