The ISSMGE ERTC10, the CEN/TC 250/SC7 and the Dutch Standardisation Institution (NEN) organize the 11th ERTC10-SC7-NEN Webinar on the Second Generation of Eurocode 7 – Dynamic Ground properties and seismic design (Eurocode 8). The registration is now open at the link https://ec7-dynamic-ground.nen-evenementen.nl/ and participation is free of charge.
Date and time: Wednesday, 11 December 2024, 15:00-17:00 (CET)
The webinar will cover the subject of dynamic ground properties and seismic design, showing the interrelation of Eurocode 7 and Eurocode 8 regarding those aspects. Experts representing CEN TC250 subcommittees SC7 and SC8, who worked on the development of the 2nd generation of those standards, will explain:
- Main changes for seismic design of geotechnical structures in the next generation Eurocodes.
- What we can find on relevant ground properties in the new EN 1997-2.
- Practical implications using design examples for typical geotechnical structures.
The detailed agenda includes:
- Introduction to dynamics in EN 1997-1 – Adriaan van Seters, Fugro, The Netherlands
- Overview of Eurocode 8 part 5 – Main changes and basis of earthquake design for geotechnical structures – Prof. Alain Pecker, École des Ponts ParisTech, France
- Ground properties for dynamic and seismic design – Prof. Sebastiano Foti, Politecnico di Torino, Italy
- Shallow and pile foundations with examples of application – Dr António Araújo Correia, LNEC, Portugal
- Retaining structures with an example application – Prof. Luigi Callisto, Sapienza Università di Roma, Italy
- Q&A session
