Geotechnical Issues of Adaption of Eurocode to Kazakhstan Norms

Abstract

Development of high-rise buildings and constructions in complex hydro-geological condition of some regions of Kazakhstan requires reliable design of foundations, this leads to improvement of the geotechnical national Codes. Unfortunately, present Codes are confined application of modern technology. Aforementioned demands to using international Code, moreover, for realization unique project is required using leading foreign high-tech, economic, ecological and energy-efficient technology, including technology for pile installation, equipment for geological investigation, as well as laboratory testing. Eurocode 7 includes recommendations and requirements for modern advanced technologies and embraced many aspects of modern geoengineering design. This comparison will be basement for future modernization of Kazakhstan codes.
