I would like to invite you to join our webinar organised jointly by ISSMGE ERTC10, CEN/TC 250/SC7, and the Dutch Standardisation Institution (NEN). The registration is now open at the link provided below, and participation is free of charge: https://ec7-dynamic-ground.nen-evenementen.nl/
Date and time: Wednesday, 11 December 2024, 15:00-17:00 (CET)
The webinar will cover the subject of dynamic ground properties and seismic design, showing the interrelation of Eurocode 7 and Eurocode 8 regarding those aspects. Our Experts representing CEN TC250 subcommittees SC7 and SC8, who worked on the development of the 2nd generation of those standards, will explain:
- Main changes for seismic design of geotechnical structures in the next generation Eurocodes.
- What we can find on relevant ground properties in the new EN 1997-2.
- Practical implications using design examples for typical geotechnical structures.
The detailed agenda includes:
- Introduction to dynamics in EN 1997-1 - Adriaan van Seters, Fugro, The Netherlands
- Overview of Eurocode 8 part 5 - Main changes and basis of earthquake design for geotechnical structures - Prof. Alain Pecker, École des Ponts ParisTech, France
- Ground properties for dynamic and seismic design - Prof. Sebastiano Foti, Politecnico di Torino, Italy
- Shallow and pile foundations with examples of application - Dr António Araújo Correia, LNEC, Portugal
- Retaining structures with an example application - Prof. Luigi Callisto, Sapienza Università di Roma, Italy
- Q&A session
This probably will be our last webinar from the series dedicated to the 2nd generation of Eurocode 7, as over last four years, we have covered all the most relevant subjects and developments from our new design standard.
