Eurocode Standards and the Design of Spread Foundations
Eurocode Standards are a set of harmonised technical rules and requirements developed by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) for the structural design of construction works in the European Union. The EN 1990 Eurocode is a fully operative material‐independent code, establishes principles and requirements for safety, serviceability and durability of structures and gives guidelines for related aspects of structural reliability. This code is based on the limit state concept and used in conjunction with the partial factor method. For the design of new structures, EN 1990 will be used together with EN 1991, and EN 1992 to EN 1999. All foundations should be designed so that the underlying materials, soil and/or rock, safely resist the actions applied to the structure. The design of spread foundations is covered by EN 1997. There are two parts to EN 1997, Part 1: General Rules and Part 2: Ground Investigation and Testing.
