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.

GEOTECHNICAL RESISTANCE FACTORS FOR ULTIMATE LIMIT STATE DESIGN OF DEEP FOUNDATIONS UNDER AXIAL COMPRESSION LOADING (2010)
<p>For many years, engineers have designed foundations, walls and culverts for highway and other geotechnical applications using allowable stress design (ASD) methods. In ASD, all uncertainties in the load and resistance are combined into a global factor of ...

NUMERICAL STUDY AND LOAD AND RESISTANCE FACTOR DESIGN (LRFD) CALIBRATION FOR REINFORCED SOIL RETAINING WALLS (2010)
<p>Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) (often called limit states design (LSD)) has been mandated in the AASHTO Bridge Design Specifications and will be adopted in future editions of Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code for all transportation-related structures ...

PILE FOUNDATIONS FOR RIVER BRIDGES ACCORDING TO EC 7- 1 (2010)
The coexistence period of old geotechnical standards based on a global safety system parallel to Eurocodes ended in Austria by June 2009. Therefore specific case histories of projects designed according to Eurocodes, especially to EC 7-1 are not yet available. ...

A DETAILED EVALUATION OF EUROCODE AND ISO METHODOLOGY ON EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT GEOTECHNICAL DESIGNS (2008)
<p>This paper presents the design concepts of Eurocode 7, Eurocode 8 and ISO 23469. Detailed comparisons are made between Eurocode 8 Part 1 and the ISO code. Conclusions are drawn on their relative merits. A simple strip foundation design example is shown ...

APPROACHES TO ULS DESIGN – THE MERITS OF DESIGN APPROACH 1 IN EUROCODE 7 (2007)
<p>Development of Eurocode 7 (EN1997-1) has led to many debates about the way safety should be ensured in design calculations, particularly when considering ultimate limit states. As a result, EN1997-1 allows national choice between three &ldquo;Design Approaches&rdquo; ...
