Eurocode 7 – Soil Description

Eurocode 7 (EC7) Training

“Eurocode 7 is the British Standard which controls the working of geotechnical engineering, and have affected the British Standards (Codes) under which investigations in the UK were carried out.  UK working practice has changed, and continues to evolve to meet these new requirements.

This workshop is designed to brief practicing geologists, engineers and environmental scientists on the changes to site investigation practice given by the new British Standards, including an update on publication, revision, and implementation, before spending most of the day concentrating on the current requirements for the description of soils.  This will be delivered through lectures on the changes and on soil description followed by practical sessions on soil samples.
