EUROCODE 7 – Second generation - Interplay with Eurocode 8: implications for ground investigation
EUROCODE 7 – Second generation - Interplay with Eurocode 8: implications for ground investigation
In the CEN/TC250 Programming Mandate M/515, the lack of compatibility between Eurocode 7 and Eurocode 8 was clearly addressed when directions for development of the new generation of EN 1997 and EN 1998 were outlined. In the present paper the most relevant modifications of the new Codes are illustrated outlining the inputs required by Eurocode 8, parts 1 and 5, for site categorisation and seismic geotechnical design, followed by the illustration of the new items introduced in Eurocode 7 to ensure that ground investigation and the resulting ground model properly consider seismicity between their objectives.
