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.

PERFORMANCE BASED DESIGN AND EUROCODE (2011)
<p>This paper advocates a holistic perception of the structural design process. By shortly reflecting the design process, it aims to identify common characteristics of &lsquo;good&rsquo; structural design: A common postulate is always the definition of, or ...

RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF BEARING CAPACITY FOR SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS BASED ON EUROCODE 7 (2011)
<p>In Eurocode 7, the application of statistical methods and reliability analyses is encouraged though not much guidance is clearly given for the practitioner. Reliability analyses can effectively model parameter uncertainty and provide more meaningful results ...

RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT OF EUROCODE 7 RETAINING STRUCTURES DESIGN METHODOLOGY (2011)
<p>This paper is a contribution for the application of Eurocode 7 design methodology, based on the limit state design (LSD) approach. The design methodology of Eurocode 7 is applied to a concrete gravity retaining structure resting on a relatively homogeneous ...

RISK ASSESSMENT THROUGH ROMANIAN CODES IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING (2011)
<p>The paper presents matters related to risks in geotechnical works and structures in two Romanian technical regulations: Code NP 074-2007 regarding geotechnical documentations for constructions and Code NP 120-06 on the design and construction requirements ...

RISK IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING AND PROFESSION PRESTIGE (2011)
<p>A great deal of attention has been devoted to the risk connected with construction design during the last period. The design principle connected with potential risks was also included in Eurocode 7 &ndash; Geotechnical Design. At the same time, we very ...

SAFETY PHILOSOPHY OF EUROCODES (2011)
<p>This paper examines how the Eurocodes deal with structural safety and risk management in civil engineering. The questions of responsibility of the designer and/or of the architect are underlying, but are not treated in detail. On one hand, the public aversion ...

ULTIMATE LIMIT STATE DESIGN TO EUROCODE 7 USING NUMERICAL METHODS PART I: METHODOLOGY AND THEORY (2011)
<p>Assessment of the Ultimate Limit State (ULS) in Eurocode 7 is to be carried out using &ldquo;Design Approach 1&rdquo; in the UK. In most cases this involves two design checks, one which primarily involves an &ldquo;action factor&rdquo; approach (Design ...
