Recommendations Of The Committee For Waterfront Structures Harbours And Waterways 9E Eau 2012

The "EAU 2012" takes into account the new generation of standards, which is shortly to be introduced into the building control system; it consists of Eurocode 7, the associated national application documents and additional national regulations (DIN 1054:2010). In certain cases, partial safety factors are determined differently based on experience in practice. This means that the safety standard of sea and port buildings remains in place; the recommendations nevertheless satisfy the requirements for international recognition and application regarding the planning, design, specification, tender procedure, construction and monitoring, as well as the handover of - and cost accounting for - port and waterway systems under uniform criteria.

The working committee (short title: "Bank reinforcements") has been working on a voluntary basis as a committee of the Hafenbautechnische Gesellschaft e. V., Hamburg (HTG) since 1949, and since 1951, simultaneously as Working Committee 2.2 of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geotechnik e. V., Essen (DGGT). Its full title is "Committee for the simplification and unification of the calculations and design of bank reinforcements".
