Problematyka oznaczania i opisu gruntów według Eurokodu 7

Abstract

Issues regarding identification and description of soils according to Eurocode 7.A b s t r a c t. The paper analyses the implementation of European standards: PN-EN ISO 14688:2018 Geotechnical investigation and testing – Identification and classification of soil – Part 1: Identification and description and Part 2: Principles for a classification (hereinafter ISO) in Polish geotechnical practice. Although PN-EN ISO 14688 standards have been a part of the Polish standards scope since 2006, daily practice shows that their proper understanding and use still causes a lot of problems. On the basis of daily experience from reading archival geological and engineering reports and studies, the authors were able to indicate the most common issues in attempts to identify and describe soils according to the aforementioned ISO standards.
