Description

An intensive one day training course that focusses on the structure, operation and interaction of Eurocode 7 within the Eurocode suite.

The programme provides a thorough introduction to Eurocode 7, focussing on the key elements of the new geotechnical design code. An overview of the Eurocode suite is also given, clarifying geotechnical design in the context of Eurocode led design approaches.

The training course is highly interactive with numerous worked examples and tutorials based on practical design problems. Delegate participation is actively encouraged throughout.
