Abstract

1.1.1 Scope of Eurocode 7 (1)P Eurocode 7 applies to the geotechnical aspects of the design of buildings and civil engineering works. It is subdivided into various separate parts. (see 1.1.2) (2)P Eurocode 7 is concerned with the requirements for strength, stability, serviceability and durability of the structures. Other requirements, e.g. concerning thermal or sound insulation, are not considered. (3)P Eurocode 7 shall be used in conjunction with ENV 1991-1 Eurocode 1 "Basis of Design and Actions on Structures". Part 1: "Basis of Design", which establishes the principles and requirements for safety and serviceability, describes the basis for design and verification and gives guidelines for related aspects of structural reliability. (4)P Eurocode 7 gives the rules to calculate actions originating from the ground such as earth pressures. Numerical values of actions on buildings and civil engineering works to be taken into account in the design are provided in ENV 1991 Eurocode 1 "Basis of Design and Actions on Structures" applicable to the various types of construction. (5)P In Eurocode 7 execution is covered to the extent that is necessary to indicate the quality of the construction materials and products which should be used and the standard of workmanship on site needed to comply with the assumptions of the design rules. Generally, the rules related to execution and workmanship are to be considered as minimum requirements which may have to be further developed for particular types of buildings or civil engineering works and methods of construction. (6)P Eurocode 7 does not cover the special requirements of seismic design. Eurocode 8, "Design provisions for earthquake resistance of structures" provides additional rules for seismic design which complete or adapt the rules of this prestandard. 1.1.2 Scope of ENV 1997-3 (1)P In addition to ENV 1997-1 the scope of ENV 1997-3 is to provide for a number of commonly used field tests: a) requirements for the equipment and test procedures; b) requirements for the reporting and the presentation of test results; c) interpretation of test results. (2)P Part 3 shall serve as a link between the design requirements of Part 1 and the results of a number of field tests. Therefore part of the scope is to give: d) examples on how to derive values of geotechnical parameters from the test results. (3)P ENV 1997-3 shall be used in conjunction with ENV 1997-1.
