Codes and standards are rapidly developed to satisfy the need for harmonization of Geotechnical Engineering Practice. Recent trends in Geotechnicalcodes and standards are to follow the limit state design, reliability design and performance based design. Codes and standards differ in different parts of the world such as Eurocode in Europe, LRFD in USA etc. In this section related publications for Codes and standards are provided.

COMPARISON OF PILE DESIGN FOLLOWING TWO STANDARDS: EC7 AND AS2159 (2016)
<p>In normal design practice one method is chosen from the many available and applied to a site. In this paper two case histories are examined, where there is sufficient information to investigate and compare different design methods, including different methods ...

PERFORMANCE BASED SEISMIC DESIGN OF CONCRETE BUILDINGS STRUCTURES –BASES (2015)
<p>The paper reviews literature and codes related to performance-based seismic design (PBSD) of reinforced concrete building. Performance objectives such as immediate occupancy, collapse prevention, or life-safety are used to define the state (condition) ...

PILE DESIGN BASED ON CPT ACCORDING TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF EUROCODE 7 (2014)
<p>Pile foundations now make up a greater percentage of foundations for new construction. That is why, an accurate calculation of pile resistance and the knowledge of its reliability has a great economic importance. A more rigorous approach has become necessary ...

EXCAVATION WORK CODE OF PRACTICE 2013 (2013)
 
<p>This Code provides practical guidance for persons conducting a business or undertaking on how to manage the health and safety risks associated with excavation work. This Code applies to all types of excavation work, including bulk excavations more than ...

PILE DESIGN USING EUROCODE 7: A CASE STUDY (2013)
<p>Eurocode 7(EC7) introduces the characteristic and design values with partial factors to reduce uncertainties associated with soil parameters, applying load, etc. The characteristic and design values of soil parameters according to this code were determined, ...

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PILE DESIGN USING EUROCODE 7 AND RBD (2011)
<p>A comparative study of pile design is presented using Eurocode 7 and an expanded reliability - based design (RBDE) method that is recently developed by the authors. A design example that has been used in the literature to illustrate Eurocode 7 is re-designed ...

APPLICATION OF RELIABILITY BASED DESIGN (RBD) TO EUROCODE 7 (2011)
<p>This study aims to discuss harmonization of Design Approaches in Eurocode 7 and National Annexes from the viewpoint of reliability. Relative reliability difference of the different design results, which are estimated from respective Eurocode 7 Design Approaches, ...

CHARACTERISTIC SHEAR STRENGTH VALUES FOR EC7: GUIDELINES BASED ON A STATISTICAL FRAMEWORK (2011)
<p>Geotechnical performance of a structure is generally governed by spatial average soil properties, such as the average shear strength along a potential slip surface in a slope. In Eurocode the characteristic soil value is defined as &ldquo;a cautious estimate ...

FINDINGS FROM THE 2ND SET OF EUROCODE 7 DESIGN EXAMPLES (2011)
<p>In April 2010 the 2nd International Workshop on the Evaluation of Eurocode 7 was held in Pavia, Italy. This Workshop was organised by ETC 10 and the SC7 Maintenance Group. In preparation for the Workshop, a set of six design examples was prepared and published ...

IMPORTANCE OF DATA AND PROCESS MANAGEMENT IN EUROCODE 7 – BASED DESIGN (2011)
<p>This paper describes how a geotechnical database may be generated from the information system (IS) of a geotechnical consulting company established in compliance with the ISO 9001, ISO 17025 QMS standards and Eurocode 7. The application of these principles ...
