First published in 1976 and last revised in 1991, Heft 240 was developed to provide engineers with simplified calculation tools. While companion publication focused on cross-sectional design (bending and shear) in the Ultimate Limit State (ULS), Heft 240 specialized in the following: : This is the modern successor to Heft 240
