- Taught by Dr. Andrew Bond, expert in Eurocode 7 maintenance.
Overview
The Online Eurocode 7 Training course aims to provide delegates with a solid understanding of the principles of Eurocode 7, the current European and British standard for geotechnical design. The course focuses on explaining the differences from traditional practices and other standards in the Eurocode suite, emphasizing design fundamentals essential for engineers. By the end of the course, participants will be able to apply Eurocode 7 principles to simple geotechnical designs.
Who should attend
Geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, civil engineers, structural engineers.
Course Content
Pre-requisites
Delegates should have a basic understanding of geotechnical design, but no prior
knowledge of the Eurocodes is necessary.
Eurocode 7 is the current European and British standard for geotechnical design. This
course explains how the code differs from traditional practice and other standards in the
Eurocode suite. It concentrates on the design fundamentals, which engineers need to
understand before attempting detailed design. Practical tutorials show delegates how to
apply the fundamental Principles embodied in Eurocode 7.
Aims and objectives
On completion, delegates will have a sound knowledge of the principles of Eurocode 7
and be able to apply them to simple geotechnical designs.
