About this document
Piling Design Changes Under Eurocode 7 by Batu Gajah is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the development of bored pile design from the 1970s to 2010, focusing on changes from CP4 to EC7 standards. It notes that CP4 allowed stresses up to 7.5 MPa, settlements of 25mm at 2 times working load, and existing equipment could handle piles well and cost-effectively. EC7 increased allowable stresses to 10.62 MPa, overloading present boring rigs and increasing costs, time, and risks of load test failure. The document recommends varying concrete stresses, limiting deep rock sockets
