Present Demands on Earth Structures in Transport Engineering in Europe

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

One of the major challenges for modern society is to continue providing sustainable, affordable, and available transportation networks for people and goods. The challenge is twofold: (1) new structures should be built in a more resilient and a more durable and affordable manner, and (2) existing structures need to be main- tained, retrofitted, or reset for a new purpose. Over recent times, different visions for improving transport engineering in these areas have been defined in Europe. Like many transport and geotechnical engineering platforms, European Large Geotech- nical Engineering Platform (ELGIP) declares the readiness of the field of geotech- nical engineering to contribute to the realization of these visions. The focus is on both engineering approaches and those which are helping to add a new dimension to Earth Structures in transport engineering—sustainability, availability, and afford- ability.Thispaperdescribessomeopportunitiesthatarecurrentlyonofferinthisfield. In Europe, the engineering approach is recorded in EC 7—Eurocode 7 in which the principle of limit state design was accepted, and the geotechnical categories classi- fication is used. The second generation of EC 7 is now undergoing the final phase of preparation. The question on how to consider sustainability in Earth Structures in Transport Engineering is covered by describing geotechnical solutions for reducing energy and resource consumption. Moreover, proactive measures to guarantee trans- port infrastructure availability and affordability under extreme circumstances (e.g., natural and man-made hazards) are discerned.
