Many new topics have now been included in the forthcoming second generation Eurocode 7: ground model, groundwater issues, rock engineering, pile groups and rafts, reinforced fill structures, soil nails, rock bolts and ground improvement. In the past 4 years, Taskgroups in CEN/Technical Committee 250 “Structural Eurocodes” / Sub-Committee 7 “Geotechnical design” have developed guidelines for the application of the new Eurocode and set up examples for testing the new code.
These guidelines and examples will be presented and discussed in 1.5 hour sessions during this 2 day seminar.
WHAT IS PRESENTED:
Guidelines on designing with the 2nd Generation Eurocode 7:
- How to obtain representative ground parameter values from data of individual geotechnical tests
- What is a Ground Model and how is it derived
- What other probabilistic methods next to partial factors are available for use in geotechnical ULSdesign
- What is the link between design and execution made in Eurocode 7 for the daily practice
Design examples on the 2nd Generation Eurocode 7:
- Groundwater Limit States, Rock engineering, Slopes, Spread foundations, Piles, Retaining Structures,
- Anchors, Reinforced Fill, Soil nails, Rock Bolts and Ground Improvement.
Guidance on setting up the National Annex:
- Explaining the TC250-rules on drafting the National Annex, Link with the overall code EN1990/1991,
- Structural codes (EN1992 – EN1999) and Seismic design code EN1998.
