Geotechnical engineers have long stood out from the other professional disciplines within civil and structural engineering—not least for their approach to design. Geotechnical calculations have traditionally relied on highly subjective assessments of design parameters whereas everything above the ground uses a more explicit and codified approach. Eurocode 7 aims to bridge the gap. It presents a comprehensive list of conditions which geotechnical designers need to consider and places much greater emphasis on serviceability and how this may be satisfied through ultimate-limit-state design. With four different design methods and three different approaches to limit-state design, it offers great flexibility at the same time as increased rigour.
