Modern geotechnical codes of practice and new design challenges using numerical methods for supported excavations

Eurocode 7 (EC7), which is the geotechnical engineering design standard in Europe, introduces the concept of partial safety factors and distinguishes between Serviceability Limit State (SLS) and Ultimate Limit State (ULS). While EC7 allows the use of Finite Element Methods (FEM) for ULS, there is li...
