ABSTRACT
The ‘execution standards’ comprise a suite of twelve European standards, published over the period 1999 to 2007, which provide detailed guidance about construction and supervision of ‘special geotechnical works’2 (see
Figure 15.1. Overview of the geotechnical execution standards
Figure 15.1). Several of these standards (ENs 1536, 1537, 12063, 12699, and 14199) are referenced explicitly in EN 1997-1: 2004, the others were in preparation at the time Eurocode 7 was written and hence are not mentioned explicitly.
