Clause 9 of the new Eurocode 7 “EN 1997-3: Geotechnical design” Part 3 (Geotechnical structures) is a new section dedicated to Reinforced fill structures, addressing reinforced wall and abutments, reinforced slopes, basal reinforcement for embankments (including load transfer platforms over inclusions and areas prone to development of voids), and veneer reinforcement. Both Ultimate Limit States and Serviceability Limit States design requirements are presented. This extended abstract summarizes -in an almost verbatim way-main content given in the EN 1997-3 (Clause 9) and EN 1997-1 (Clause 8.2).
