The purpose of this manual is to provide Geotechnical Engineers guidance to expected procedures when performing geotechnical investigations, analysis, and reporting for the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR). This manual is intended to provide general guidelines ...

<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 ...

<p>In Germany the reliability theory using a probabilistic approach in geotechnical design was officially introduced as the basic concept for geotechnical design at the German National Geotechnical Conference in 1978 as it had also been adopted as the common ...

<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 ...

<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 ...

Eurocode 7 is now implemented throughout Europe. National Annexes and accompanying documents have being prepared for its implementation in the various European countries. The maintenance of the EC7 is essential to prevent its credibility, integrity and to ...

Geotechnical engineering analyses and designs for transportation structures have traditionally been based on Allowable Stress Design (ASD), also known as Working Stress Design (WSD). Transportation structures that require geotechnical engineering are bridge ...

<p>The following guidelines were developed by Geotechnical Services, Division of Engineering Services for the preparation of Geotechnical Design Reports (GDRs). Geotechnical Services is responsible for performing geotechnical investigations and report preparation, ...

The purpose of this Circular is to assist both structural and geotechnical engineers to better understand the calibration process and what information is required to perform such calibrations. The Circular describes how such calibration efforts need to be ...

In this paper a new methodology is proposed for the geotechnical analysis of strength of paleoseismic shaking using liquefaction effects.
