The introduction of Eurocodes has been talked about for a long time, but now they are with us. The implementation is due to be complete in 2010, and the first Standards called up by the Eurocode are already in force.

There are many more to come. The Eurocode suite of documents is mandatory, and this is a significant change to their status compared with the familiar Codes of Practice used in the UK.

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.

The course will provide an introduction to the Eurocode documents including timetables and status. Some new aspects to the design procedures will be illustrated, with workshops to help delegates understand some of the key issues.
