1.1.2 Scope of Eurocode 7-2
(1) EN 1997-2 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN
1997-1 and provides rules supplementary to EN 1997-1related to:
planning and reporting of ground investigations;
laboratory and field tests; inter retation and evaluation of test results;
derivation of values of geotechnical parameters and
coefficients.Note:
Establishment of characteristic values is covered in EN
