Safety and verification concept
The “Eurocodes” – harmonised directives specifying fundamental safety requirements for buildings and structures – were drawn up as part of the realisation of the European Single Market. Verification of safety must always be carried out according to European standards. However, in some instances such verification is not possible with these standards alone; a number of parameters, e.g. numerical values for partial safety factors, have to be specified on a national level. The minimum requirements in terms of scope and quality of geotechnical investigations, calculations and monitoring measures are described by three geotechnical categories in accordance with EC 7: low, normal and high geotechnical difficulty. A stability analysis of a waterfront structure must include: details of the use of the facility; design value of bottom depth; partial safety factors necessary/used; and so on.
