Overview

This 2-day  course aims to enhance participant’s understanding of Eurocode provisions for the analysis and design of steel strutting system for earth retaining and stabilizing structures (ERSS) so that they could apply design principles and standards in accordance with Eurocodes and Singapore National Annexes in the design of steel strutting system and its component for ERSS and avoiding common mistakes in design with lessons learned from case studies and collapse investigation. Analysis and design principles related to soil-structure interaction in the ERSS will also be discussed using modern tools such as finite element analysis so that participants could implement Eurocode 7 design philosophy and appreciate the possibilities and limitations of such modern tools.
