Logo of Eurocode 7. In the Eurocode series of European standards (EN) related to construction, Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design (abbreviated EN 1997 or, informally, EC 7) describes how to design geotechnical structures, using the limit state design philosophy. It is published in two parts; "General rules" and "Ground investigation and testing".
EN 1990: (Eurocode 0) Basis of structural design; EN 1991: (Eurocode 1) Actions on structures; EN 1992: (Eurocode 2) Design of concrete structures; EN 1993: (Eurocode 3) Design of steel structures; EN 1994: (Eurocode 4) Design of composite steel and concrete structures; EN 1995: (Eurocode 5) Design of timber structures; EN 1996: (Eurocode 6 ...
Section 7: Specific rules for composite steel-concrete buildings; Section 8: Specific rules for timber buildings; Section 9: Specific rules for masonry buildings. Section 10 contains the fundamental requirements and other relevant aspects of design and safety related to base isolation of structures and specifically to base isolation of buildings.
Schematic cross section of a pressurized caisson. In geotechnical engineering, a caisson (/ ˈ k eɪ s ən,-s ɒ n /; borrowed from French caisson 'box', from Italian cassone 'large box', an augmentative of cassa) is a watertight retaining structure [1] used, for example, to work on the foundations of a bridge pier, for the construction of a concrete dam, [2] or for the repair of ships.

In total there are 58 EN Eurocode parts distributed in the ten Eurocodes (EN 1990 – 1999). All of the EN Eurocodes relating to materials have a Part 1-1 which covers the design of buildings and other civil engineering structures and a Part 1-2 for fire design.
The standard also encompasses the structural design of bridge foundations [4] as well as the design and requirements of bridge bearings for both ordinary and moving bridges. [6] [7] In 2010, BS 5400 was superseded by the Structural Eurocodes for the design of new bridges. However, BS 5400 still serves as the foundation for assessment standards ...
Franki piles can be used as high-capacity deep foundation elements without the necessity of excavation or dewatering. [4] They are useful in conditions where a sufficient bearing soil can only be reached deeper in the ground, [5] [6] and are best suited to granular soil where bearing is primarily achieved from the densification of the soil around the base.
