Volex Labs / Calculations / Reinforced concrete torsion design to Eurocode 2.

Reinforced concrete torsion design to Eurocode 2.

Enter the section and torsion (with any coexistent shear), and Volex Anvil designs for torsion by the EC2 §6.3 thin-walled tube analogy: the maximum torsional resistance TRd,max, the check on combined torsion-and-shear, and the additional longitudinal steel Asl and closed links required.

The design follows EC2 §6.3.2 and Mosley, Bungey & Hulse §8.5, with the equivalent thin wall, TRd,max and reinforcement all shown for checking.

Frequently asked

Does it combine torsion with shear?
Yes — the combined torsion-and-shear interaction of EC2 §6.3.2 Eq (6.29) is checked against TRd,max and VRd,max.
Does it design the links?
Yes — closed links for torsion are designed to §9.2.3 and added to the shear-link requirement.
Is it validated?
TRd,max and the longitudinal steel are checked against Mosley, Bungey & Hulse — within 0.00%.
Free tier?
Yes — 10 calculations a month free; Pro (£29/month) adds unlimited runs and PDF calc sheets.
