Tutorial 3 - Single pile design to Eurocode 7

Step 9 – change the design standard

 

In Step 9, you will create a second calculation, identical to the first but based on the UK National Annex to Eurocode 7.

  1. Returning to the Project Manager, create a copy of Calculation 1 by right-click on it (under ‘Calculations’) and selecting the Edit > Duplicate command.

  2. With Calculation 2 selected in the Project Manager, change the Design Standard selected for this calculation in the Property Inspector, from ‘EC7 with Irish National Annex’ to ‘EC7 with UK National Annex’.

  1. In the Project Manager, select the Design Standard ‘EC7 with UK National Annex’. Then in the Property Inspector, expand the ‘Factors on resistance’ group by clicking on the + sign next to its heading. Finally, change the option for ‘Pile testing’ to ‘Investigation tests’. This setting is appropriate when the calculated resistance will be checked by static pile load tests taken to ultimate load.

  2. Repeat the instruction given for the previous step to obtain results for this new calculation. Your screen will now look something like the screenshot below:
