Description of BS EN 1997-2:2007 20101.1 Scope 1.1.1 Scope of Eurocode 7 (1) EN 1997 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1990:2002which establishes the principles and requirements for safety and serviceability, describes the basis of design and verification and gives guidelines for related aspects of structural reliability. (2) EN 1997 is intended to be applied to the geotechnical aspects of the design of buildings and civil engineering works. It is subdivided into various separate parts (see 1.1.2). (3) EN 1997 is concerned with the requirements for strength, stability, serviceability and durability of structures. Other requirements, e.g. concerning thermal or sound insulation, are not considered. (4) Numerical values of actions on buildings and civil engineering works to be taken into account in design are provided in EN 1991 for the various types of construction. Actions imposed by the ground, such as earth pressures, shall be calculated according to the rules of EN 1997 . (5) Separate European Standards are intended to be used to treat matters of execution and workmanship. They are denoted in the relevant sections. (6) In EN 1997 execution is covered to the extent that is necessary to conform to the assumptions of the design rules. (7) EN 1997 does not cover the special requirements of seismic design. EN 1998 provides additional rules for geotechnical seismic design, which complete or adapt the rules of this standard. 1.1.2 Scope of EN 1997-2 (1) EN 1997-2 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1997-1 and provides rules supplementary to EN 1997-1 related to:
In addition, examples of the application of field test results to design are given.
