Eurocodes are now the British Standards controlling the way we work in geotechnical engineering. They should be in everyday use, but where have we got to in this regard. This is important as the Eurocode suite of documents is mandatory which represents a significant change in status compared with the familiar UK Codes of Practice.
David will summarise the current position on the status of publication, revision, amendment and implementation of the documents, including the current and future areas of activity. All geotechnical professionals need to know about the changes, how it will affect their everyday professional life, and how they will need to help their clients understand the changes – so “how up to date and prepared are you?”
