In this 2011 lecture, Dr. Andrew Bond of Geocentrix Ltd. and honorary member of the European Regional Technical Committee 10 of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) provides his insights on the development of Eurocode 7 and - in particular - the way it fits in with the development of other European standards for structural design, ground investigation and testing, and execution of geotechnical works. Some of the more important technical questions relating to the implementation of Eurocode 7 into design practice are discussed and suggestions are made for their possible resolution. Finally, the work that has been underway to evolve the next generation of Eurocodes will be described.
