Eurocode 7 characteristic values
Eurocode 7 characteristic values
(OP)
EC7 has outlined the concept of "characteristic values" of geotechnical parameters, to be used in limit state design, concept not without its ambiguities or drawbacks.
EC7 directive has been recently enshrined into some European member states building legislation (Spain, Italy...).
Anyone has ever employed or is currently employing specific procedures to evaluate such "characteristic values" in practical geotechnical design?
