"Maintenance of structures": Geotechnical design (SIA 269/7) (AGB2005/204)
Overview
Background & policy context:
The elaboration of the standard SIA 269/7 „Maintenance of geotechnical structures” is part of the SIA-project "Maintenance of existing structures”. It is foreseen that in addition to a basic standard material specific codes are made available. Within the scope of the maintenance planning these standards concern mainly the constructive measures.
Objectives:
The standard SIA 269/7 is going to be part of the general package of the maintenance standards for existing structures. Fundamental technical and scientific basics which are adjusted to structures will be worked out.
The objective is to elaborate a consistent and practical standard in the area of geotechnical structures, which is compatible to the structural standard SIA 267. The new standard should extend and complete this existing code.
In addition to this SIA 269/7 should distinguish herself by efficiency, shortness and been practical. The known deficiencies in the maintenance of geotechnical structures will be eliminated, so that standard rules which allow a competent and commensurate planning of the maintenance are at the disposal of the engineers.
Methodology:
The methodology is set according to the internal rules of the SIA (R48; R66; R72).
