EN 1992 Eurocode 2 applies to the design of buildings and other civil engineering works in plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete. It complies with the principles and requirements for the safety and serviceability of structures, the basis of their design and verification that are given in EN 1990: Basis of structural design. EN Eurocode 2 is concerned with the requirements for resistance, serviceability, durability and fire resistance of concrete structures.

Part 1.1 gives a general basis for the design of structures in plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete, while Part 1-2 deals with the design of concrete structures for the accidental situation of fire exposure. Part 2 gives a general basis for the design and detailing of bridges in reinforced and prestressed concrete. Finally, Part 3 covers additional rules for the design of concrete structures for the containment of liquids or granular solids and other liquid retaining structures.
