The recommendations focus on ensuring both structural stability and long-term durability through standardized practices:
Execution should always be supervised by a geotechnical expert to ensure adherence to these guidelines: Recommendations on Piling
: Design is based on the partial safety factor approach, differentiating between Ultimate Limit State (ULS) —ensuring the pile doesn't fail—and Serviceability Limit State (SLS), which controls settlements and deformations. such as foundation loads
: It distinguishes between different types of actions, such as foundation loads, negative skin friction, and lateral pressure . Specific verifications are required for cyclical, dynamic, and impact loading. negative skin friction
