Eurocode 7: Geotechnical Design. Worked

examples
[1]
Abstract:
This document is a report with worked examples summarizing the general rules, basic design
principles and design methods for geotechnical design following Eurocodes. It comprises an overview
of Eurocode 7 with focus on the design requirements, actions and design situations, and limit states.
Different aspects to be considered for designing shallow foundations, gravity walls, embedded walls
and deep foundations are covered in the report. The provisions of Eurocode 7 for ground
investigations and testing for geotechnical design, overall stability of and movements in the ground,
slopes, hydraulic failure modes and verifications against them are also presented. The Annex contains
worked examples to accompany the various chapters of this report. The materials were prepared and
presented at the workshop “Eurocode 7: Geotechnical Design” held on 13-14 June 2013 in Dublin,
Ireland. The workshop was organized by JRC with the support of DG ENTR and CEN, and in
collaboration with CEN/TC250/Sub-Committee 7 and Ireland’s Department of the Environment,
Community and Local government. The document is part of the Report Series ‘Support to the
implementation, harmonization and further development of the Eurocodes’ prepared by JRC in
collaboration with DG ENTR and CEN/TC250 “Structural Eurocodes”.
