The Structural Eurocodes What are the Eurocodes? The structural structural Eurocodes Eurocodes are a European European suite of codes for structural structural desi de sign gn… … dev devel elop oped ed over… over… 25 years years By 2010 they will have effectively replaced the current British Standards They will be used as an acceptable basis for meeting compliance with UK Building Regulations and the requirements of other public authorities from: National National Strategy Strategy for Implementation mplementation of t he Structural Eurocod es: Design Design Guidance D.

EUROCODE 7
Objectives of the Eurocodes as a means to prove compliance of building and civil engineering works with the essential requirements of mechanical resistance and stability and safety in case of fire; a basis for specifying contracts for construction works & related engineering services; a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specs for construction products. In addition, the Eurocodes are foreseen to: •
improve the functioning of the single market for products and engineering services by removing obstacles arising from different nationally codified practices for the assessment of structural reliability;
•
improve the competitiveness of the European construction industry and its professionals and industries, in countries outside the European Union.

EUROCODE 7
Fundamental requirements The structure and structural members should be designed, executed and maintained in such a way that they meet the following: •
Serviceability requirement – the structure during its intended life, with appropriate degrees of reliability and in an economic way, will remain fit for the use for which it is required.
•
Safety requirement – the structure will sustain all actions and influences likely to occur during execution and use.
•
Fire requirement – the structural resistance shall be adequate for the required period of time.
•
Robustness requirement – the structure will not be damaged by events such as explosion, impact or consequences of human errors, to an extent disproportionate to the original cause.

Soil properties 8 features considered by drafters of Eurocode 7: 1. Soil properties determined by investigation, EN 1997 Part 2 2. Undrained and drained conditions to be considered 3. Property characteristic value is “cautious estimate” of mean value 4. Soil variability is high, judgement required for ‘k’ values 5. Strength related to normal stress , care required when applying partial factors of safety to geotechnical loads 6. Soil can redistribute loading from weaker to stronger zones 7. Soil is compressible, SLS usually controls design, though ULS calculations usually performed in design 8. Soil stress-strain behaviour is complex, few calculation models provided in EN 1997 Dr Ian Smith, Edinburgh Napier University

2.4.1 (2) It should be considered that knowledge of the ground conditions depends on the extent and quality of the geotechnical investigations. Such knowledge and the control of workmanship are usually more significant to fulfilling the fundamental requirements than is precision in the calculation models and partial factors.
In other words… Design to EN 1997 depends as much on Part 2 as Part 1.

EUROCODE 7
Principles & Application Rules All statements in each Eurocode are either: Principles (must be followed), or Application Rules (offer advice).
The Principles (preceded by the letter P) comprise general statements and definitions for which there is no alternative, as well as requirements and analytical models for which no alternative is permitted unless specifically stated. It is permissible to use alternative design rules to the Application Rules, provided that it is shown that the alternative rules accord with the relevant principles and are at least equivalent with regard to resistance, serviceability and durability which would otherwise be achieved for the structure. Note: If an alternative design rule is substituted for an Application Rule, the resulting design cannot be claimed to be wholly in accordance with the Eurocode although the design will remain in accordance with the Principles of the Eurocode.

Basis of Geotechnical Design 2.1 Design requirements (1)P For each geotechnical design situation it shall be verified that no relevant limit state, as defined in EN 1990:2002, is exceeded. 2.1(1)
This section sets the scene for the design situations and identifies aspects to be considered in the design, including: factors to be considered (e.g. site conditions) (2.1(2)); methods of verifying the limit states ( 2.1(4)); and a means of identifying the complexity of the design together with the associated risks (2.1(8)). (4) Limit states should be verified by one or a combination of the following: — use of calculations…
(most common )
— adoption of prescriptive measures… — experimental models and load tests… — an observational method… Dr Ian Smith, Edinburgh Napier University
ICE Teesside Branch, NGG and IStructE
EUROCODE 7
Basis of Geotechnical Design 2.1 Design requirements Expanding on Clause 2.1(8), Eurocode 7 introduces the notion of three Geotechnical Categories to establish the geotechnical design requirements 2.1(10):
Category 1 is for small projects with negligible-risk and where the fundamental requirements will be satisfied on the basis of experience and qualitative geotechnical investigations;
Category 2 is for conventional structures (e.g. foundations, retaining walls, embankments) with no exceptional risk or difficult soil or loading conditions;
Category 3 is for structures not covered by Categories 1 and 2 (e.g. very large structures, structures involving abnormal risks).
Most routine geotechnical design work will fall into Geotechnical Category 2. Dr Ian Smith, Edinburgh Napier University

EUROCODE 7
Basis of Geotechnical Design 2.2 Design situations (1)P Both short-term and long-term design situations shall be considered. 2.2(1)
Section 2.2 of Eurocode 7 Part 1 gives guidance as to what to include in the detailed specifications of design situations, such as: the actions, their combinations and load cases, and the general suitability of the ground on which the structure is located with respect to overall stability and ground movements.

Geotechnical design by calculation Covered in Section 2.4 of Eurocode 7 Part 1 (1)P Design by calculation shall be in accordance with the fundamental requirements of EN 1990:2002 and with the particular rules of this standard. Design by calculation involves: — actions, which may be either imposed loads or imposed displacements, e.g. from ground movements; — properties of soils, rocks and other materials; — geometrical data; — limiting values of deformations, crack widths, vibrations etc.; — calculation models.

Other means… Statistical methods – can be used if sufficient sufficient geotechnical measurements/results measurements/res ults exist. Except on projects where a large amount of high quality ground investigation data is is available, it is unlikely that statistical methods would be adopted to select characteristic values of geotechnical parameters.
Standard tables of characteristic values, where available, may be used in the selection of a characteristic value. (12)P When using standard tables of characteristic values related to soil investigation parameters, the characteristic value shall be selected as a very cautious value.

Design values of geometrical data (2)P In cases where deviations in the geometrical data have a significant effect on the reliability of a structure, design values of geometrical data (a d) shall either be assessed directly or be derived from nominal values using the following equation (see 6.3.4 of EN 1990:2002):
ad = anom a for which values of a are given in 6.5.4(2) and 9.3.2.2 EN 1997-1:2004 2.4.6.3(2)

EUROCODE 7
Design effects of actions (i) i) During the verification of geotechnical strength (i.e. GEO limit state) some effects of the actions will depend on the strength of the ground in addition to the magnitude of the applied action and the dimensions of the structure. Thus, the effect of an action in the GEO limit state is a function of the action, the material properties and the geometrical dimensions. i.e. Ed = E{Fd; Xd; ad} where Ed is the design effect of the action, and Fd is the design action; Xd is the design material property; ad is the design dimension, and where E{…} indicates that the effect, E is a function of the terms in the parenthesis.
Dr Ian Smith, Edinburgh Napier University
ICE Teesside Branch, NGG and IStructE
EUROCODE 7
Design effects of actions (ii) During the verification of static equilibrium (i.e. EQU limit state) some effects of the actions (both destabilising and stabilising) will depend on the strength of the ground in addition to the magnitude of the applied action and the dimensions of the structure. Thus, the effect of an action in the EQU limit state, whether it be a stabilising or a destabilising action, is a function of the action, the material properties and the geometrical dimensions. i.e. Edst;d = E{Fd; Xd; ad}dst where Edst;d is the design effect of the destabilising action, and Estb;d = E{Fd; Xd; ad}stb where Estb;d is the design effect of the stabilising action.
Dr Ian Smith, Edinburgh Napier University
ICE Teesside Branch, NGG and IStructE
EUROCODE 7
Design resistances Equation 6.6 in EN 1990:2002 indicates that the design resistance depends on material properties and the structural dimension. However, in geotechnical design, many resistances depend on the magnitude of the actions and so EN 1997-1:2004 2.4.7.3.3 redefines Equation 6.6 to include the contribution made by the design action. The clause actually offers three methods of establishing the design resistance,
Rd RF d ; X d ; a d
or
Rd
RF d ; X k ; a d R
or
RF ; X ; a Rd d d d R
Annex B of Eurocode 7 Part 1 offers guidance on which of the 3 formulae above to use for each design approach.

EUROCODE 7
Equilibrium (EQU) limit state Loss of static equilibrium
EQU: loss of equilibrium of the structure or the supporting ground when considered as a rigid body and where the internal strength of the structure and the ground do not provide resistance.
Limit state is satisfied if the sum of the design values of the effects of destabilising actions (Edst;d) is less than or equal to the sum of the design values of the effects of the stabilising actions (Estb;d) together with any contribution through the resistance of the ground around the structure (Td), i.e.
Dr Ian Smith, Edinburgh Napier University
Edst;d ≤ Estb;d + Td.

EUROCODE 7
Geotechnical (GEO) limit state Failure of the ground
GEO: failure or excessive deformation of the ground, where the soil or rock is significant in providing resistance.
This limit state is satisfied if the design effect of the actions (E d) is less than or equal to the design resistance (Rd), i.e.
Dr Ian Smith, Edinburgh Napier University
Ed ≤ Rd
ICE Teesside Branch, NGG and IStructE
EUROCODE 7
Structural (STR) limit state Internal failure of structure
STR: failure or excessive deformation of the structure, where the strength of the structural material is significant in providing resistance.
As with GEO limit state, the STR limit state is satisfied if the design effect of the actions (E d) is less than or equal to the design resistance (Rd), i.e.
Dr Ian Smith, Edinburgh Napier University
Ed ≤ Rd

EUROCODE 7
Uplift (UPL) limit state Uplift by water pressure
UPL: the loss of equilibrium of the structure or the supporting ground by vertical uplift due to water pressures (buoyancy) or other actions.
This limit state is verified by checking that the sum of the design permanent and variable destabilising vertical actions (Vdst;d) is less than or equal to the sum of the design stabilising permanent vertical action (Gstb;d) and any additional resistance to uplift (Rd). i.e.
Dr Ian Smith, Edinburgh Napier University
Vdst;d ≤ Gstb;d + Rd.
ICE Teesside Branch, NGG and IStructE
EUROCODE 7
Hydraulic (HYD) limit state Hydraulic heave/erosion
UPL: hydraulic heave, internal erosion and piping in the ground as might be experienced, for example, at the base of a braced excavation.
This limit state is verified by checking that the design total pore water pressure (u dst;d) or seepage force (Sdst;d) at the base of the soil column under investigation is less than or equal to the total vertical stress ( stb;d) at the bottom of the column, or the submerged unit weight (G'stb;d) of the same column. i.e.
udst;d ≤ stb;d

GEO/STR Limit states Three Design Approaches are offered - to reflect national choice
The design approach followed reflects whether the safety is applied to the material properties, the actions or the resistances. Design Approach 1:
Combination 1: A1 + M1 + R1 †Combination 2: A2 + M2 + R1
Design Approach 2: Design Approach 3:
A1 + M1 + R2 A* + M2 + R3
A*: use set A1 on structural actions, set A2 on geotechnical actions †
For axially loaded piles, DA1, Combination 2 is: A2 + (M1 or M2) + R4
The UK National Annex states that Design Approach 1 shall be used. Dr Ian Smith, Edinburgh Napier University

EUROCODE 7
Retaining wall design Covered in Section 9 of Eurocode 7 Part 1 (1)P The provisions of this Section shall apply to structures, which retain ground comprising soil, rock or backfill and water. Material is retained if it is kept at a slope steeper than it would eventually adopt if no structure were present. Retaining structures include all types of wall and support systems in which structural elements have forces imposed by the retained material.

Retaining wall design Limit states The limit states to be considered are listed in 9.2(1) and are: • loss of overall stability; • failure of a structural element such as a wall, anchorage, wale or strut or failure of the connection between such elements; • combined failure in the ground and in the structural element; • failure by hydraulic heave and piping; • movement of the retaining structure, which may cause collapse or affect the appearance or • efficient use of the structure or nearby structures or services, which rely on it; • unacceptable leakage through or beneath the wall; • unacceptable transport of soil particles through or beneath the wall; • unacceptable change in the ground-water regime.

EUROCODE 7
Future unplanned excavation (2) In ultimate limit state calculations in which the stability of a retaining wall depends on the ground resistance in front of the structure, the level of the resisting soil should be lowered below the nominally expected level by an amount a. … — for a cantilever wall, a should equal 10 % of the wall height above excavation level, limited to a maximum of 0,5 m; — for a supported wall, a should equal 10 % of the distance between the lowest support and the excavation level, limited to a maximum of 0,5 m. EN 1997-1:2004 9.3.2.2(2) (3) Smaller values of a, including 0, may be used when the surface level is specified to be controlled reliably throughout the appropriate execution period.

Passive resistance but what about for embedded walls?… Single Source Principle…
NOTE Unfavourable (or destabilising) and favourable (or stabilising) permanent actions may in some situations be considered as coming from a single source. If they are considered so, a single partial factor may be applied to the sum of these actions or to the sum of their effects. EN 1997-1:2004 2.4.2 Note to (9)P

Conclusion (Recap…) 4. Geotechnical design by calculation (continued)
2.4.1 (2) It should be considered that knowledge of the ground conditions depends on the extent and quality of the geotechnical investigations. Such knowledge and the control of workmanship are usually more significant to fulfilling the fundamental requirements than is precision in the calculation models and partial factors. In other words… Design to EN 1997 depends as much on Part 2 as Part 1.
