Synopsis
This course provides a detailed examination of Eurocode 7's and the UK National Annex's requirements for the design of pile foundations and embedded retaining walls.
Pre-requisites
Our Geotechnical Design courses assume prior knowledge of Eurocode 7 (although essential aspects are reviewed). It is important that you have previously attended our Basis course (or similar).
Date and venue of next public course
- Next classroom course: Wednesday 18th April in London
- Next online course: second half of 2012 (dates to be announced)
- Please contact Jenny Bond to register your interest
Speakers
