Eurocode 7. Geotechnical design. Ground investigation and testing
Also Known As:
BS EN 1997-2:2007 is a standard that provides guidelines and rules for conducting ground investigations and testing in geotechnical engineering. The standard is focused on the planning and reporting of ground investigations, as well as the interpretation of soil test results. It covers the general requirements for laboratory and field tests commonly used in geotechnical design.
BS EN 1997-2 outlines the procedures and considerations for planning ground investigations, including the selection of construction materials and evaluation of groundwater conditions. It provides guidance on soil and rock sampling techniques, as well as groundwater measurements. The standard also addresses field testing in both soil and rock, laboratory tests, and the preparation of a comprehensive ground investigation report.
The target audience for BS EN 1997-2 includes construction engineers, civil engineers, site inspectors, and surveyors involved in geotechnical design and ground investigation projects. It is essential for professionals involved in the planning, execution, and interpretation of soil and rock testing as part of geotechnical investigations for various construction projects.
