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) ...

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 ...

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; ...

GUIDE FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES REINFORCED WITH FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMER BARS (2007)
 
<p>The purpose of this guide is to provide an advisory document for the design, construction and control of concrete structures reinforced with FRP bars. The approach followed is that of the limit states semi-probabilistic method, while the format adopted ...

EVOLUTION OF SAFETY FACTORS AND GEOTECHNICAL LIMIT STATE DESIGN (1994)
<p>The historical development of limit state design in geotechnical engineering is reviewed. Total and partial factors of safety used for the design of land-based and offshore structures are compared. It is found that the factors of safety in different codes ...

WHAT ARE PARTIAL FACTORS FOR?
<p>Partial factors have emerged witin limit state design methodology as a means of adjusting parameters so that appropriate values are derived for design calculations. They have become associated with uncertainty, but their proper use in geotechnical engineering ...
