| Summary |
The purpose of the Eurocodes is to achieve harmonization between structural and geotechnical design in Europe. This book clearly demonstrates how the philosophy and principles presented in Eurocode 7 (EC7), are applied in practice. This book is an essential source of information for practising engineers, engineering geologists and others involved in ground investigations and the testing of soils. It is also a valuable text for undergraduate and postgraduate civil engineering students |
