Vorgaben des EC7 für dynamische Pfahlprobebelastungen und Regelungen im deutschen Normenhandbuch - Vorschlag zur Vereinfachung

Regulations of EC7 for Dynamic Pile Load Tests and Specifications of the German National Application Document - Proposal for a Simplified Concept.

In 2011 the German Institute of Standards (DIN) published the "Handbook Eurocode 7 - Geotechnical design - Part 1: General rules" which combines DIN EN 1997-1:2009, DIN EN 1997-1/NA:2010 (national appendix) and DIN 1054:2010 (additional national rules to DIN EN 1997-1) to one work of German rules in geotechnical design. The paper presents the current situation and the problems of application of the code specifications with respect to the current practice of dynamic testing. A simplification of specifications and also a basis for a consistent safety concept is proposed.
