Geotechnical Investigations for Civil Engineering Purposes - Supplementary Rules to DIN EN 1997-2
Also Known As:
DIN 4020 is a supplementary standard to DIN EN 1997-2 that provides additional rules for geotechnical investigations in civil engineering. It is meant to be used in conjunction with DIN EN 1997-2 and its National Annex in order to ensure the knowledge of subsoil properties for construction projects. The standard focuses on soils and rocks, as well as their constituent materials, which are used as subsoil in various types of construction projects.
The main objective of DIN 4020 is to ensure that the structure, composition, and characteristics of the subsoil are adequately understood during the design and tendering stages of a construction project. By conducting geotechnical investigations and testing in accordance with DIN EN 1997-2, DIN EN 1997-2/NA, and DIN 4020, the safety checks specified in DIN EN 1997-1, DIN EN 1997-1/NA, and DIN 1054 can be effectively carried out.
