Understand, analyse, and assess
Geotechnical engineering is…
“the art of using soils whose properties we do not really understand to form and to support structures we cannot
really analyse, so as to withstand forces which we cannot really assess, in such a way that the public does
not really suspect”
Professor Noel Simons, Inaugural Lecture, University of Surrey

Implementation of Eurocodes
“The structural Eurocodes are a European suite of codes for structural design … developed over … twenty-five
years“By 2010 they will have effectively replaced the current
British Standards as the primary basis for designing buildings and civil engineering structures in the UK
“They [will be] used as an acceptable basis for meeting compliance with UK Building Regulations and the
requirements of other public authorities”
National Strategy for Implementation of the Structural Eurocodes (2004)

and construction sectors of the Civil and Building industries’

Design by prescriptive measures
• §2.5(2) Design by prescriptive measures may be used where comparable experience makes design calculations unnecessary
• §2.5(1) These [measures] involve conventional and generally conservative rules in the design, and attention to specification and control of materials, workmanship, protection and maintenance procedures
Example (right)• Annex G (informative) – sample
method for deriving presumed bearing resistance for spread foundations on rock
• Information taken from British Standard 8004
Feb-08 Decoding Eurocode 7 ©2005-8 Geocentrix Ltd. All rights reserved 29
Design by observation or testing
• §2.7(1) When prediction of geotechnical behaviour is difficult, it can be appropriate to apply the approach known as “the observational method”, in which the design is reviewed during construction
• §2.7(2)P The following requirements shall be met before construction is started:– acceptable limits of behaviour shall be established– the range of possible behaviour shall be assessed– a plan of monitoring shall be devised– a plan of contingency actions shall be devised
• §2.6(1)P When the results of load tests or tests on large or small scale models are used to justify a design … the following features shall be considered …:– differences in the ground conditions between the test and the actual
construction– time effects …– scale effects …

Verification of strength
Verification of strength is expressed in Eurocode 7 by:
Ed = design effect of actionsRd = design resistance corresponding to that effect
This requirement applies to limit state GEO:“Failure or excessive deformation of the ground, in which the strength of
soil or rock is significant in providing resistance’EN 1997-1 §2.4.7.1(1)P
…and to ultimate limit state STR“Internal failure or excessive deformation of the structure or structural elements … in which the strength of structural materials is significant in
providing resistance”EN 1997-1 §2.4.7.1(1)P

Geotechnical effects depend on material strength
In geotechnical engineering, effects often depend on the strength of materials
Example: internal stresses in and deflection/settlement of retaining wall all depend on earth pressure:
Pa = Ka (γH + q)H2
= (1 – sin φ) (γH + q)H(1 + sin φ)

Geotechnical resistance depends on loading
In geotechnical engineering, resistance often depends on self-weight of and loads applied to the ground
Example: shear stress mobilized against underside of base depends on self-weight of fill and surcharge:

Design Approaches for STR/GEO
• §2.4.7.3.4.1(1)P The manner in which equations [above] are applied shall be determined using one of three Design Approaches
– Design Approaches apply ONLY to STR and GEO limit states– Each nation can choose which one (or more) to allow
• UK National Annex, NA.4 …only Design Approach 1 is to be used in the UK
• In simplest terms, the design approaches apply factors to the following…

Verification of stability
Verification of stability is expressed in Eurocode 7 by:
Ed,dst = destabilizing design effect of actionsEd,stb = stabilizing design effect of actionsRd = any additional design resistance that stabilizes the structures
This requirement applies to limit state EQU:“Loss of equilibrium of the structure or the ground, considered as a rigid body, in
which the strengths of structural materials and the ground are insignificant in providing resistance”
EN 1997-1 §2.4.7.1(1)P

Serviceability limit states are defined as:“States that correspond to conditions beyond which specified service requirements for a structure or structural member are no
