Decoding Eurocode 7 book coverDecoding Eurocode 7 provides an in-depth explanation and critique of the new geotechnical design standard. With imaginative use of flow diagrams, mind-maps, and other visual aids, the book provides an easy-to-follow account of the key principles and rules of Eurocode 7 and the many associated standards that it depends upon. Most chapters are supplemented by extensive worked examples illustrating the way the Eurocodes may be applied in real-world situations.
