This paper provides an overview of serviceability specifications given by the fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 (fib MC2010 [1]). First, the reasons behind crack control and deflection control are discussed, then specific design rules are provided. Simple rules as well as detailed models are also presented. Numerical examples are provided in order to assist in the application of the design...

In order to develop new standards related to structures in seismic regions, a series of research programmes has been conducted on slightly reinforced structural walls commonly used in France. Based on these researches, a method of design of such walls submitted to a seismic action has been set up. This method used in the PS92 code differs from that used for ductile walls, where a plastic hinge can...
