NA+A1:2014 to BS EN 1997-1:2004+A1:2013 UK National Annex to Eurocode 7. Geotechnical design. General rules
This is the supporting National Annex to:
BS EN 1997-1:2004+A1:2013 Eurocode 7. Geotechnical design. General rules
It includes a new Section 8 (referred to as ‘Anchors’). It requires designers to show that anchors will perform satisfactorily in service conditions and will also prevent failure in the supported structure (ultimate limit states) in more onerous conditions than those checked historically, defined by partial factors. These requirements are to be demonstrated by testing the anchors, the code taking no account of calculated anchor capacities.
