Abstract
In January 2008 the Italian Ministry for Infrastructures has released the “Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni” that recognizes the principles established by EN 1997-1 - Eurocode 7 – Geotechnical Design – General rules as well as most of the partial factors there included. Later on (2013) the so-called National Application Document (NAD) was released by the same Authority. In the paper, after some brief information about regional geology, common soil investigation methods and local pile market situation, some peculiar aspects of “Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni” will be illustrated and discussed. Moreover, some relevant local experiences are briefly reported. In the end, a design example is reported where some positive aspects of the new Code are highlighted.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
