15、the latest by August 2007. The document has been prepared to stand alongside EN 19971, Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design Part 1: General rules, and EN 19972 Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design Part 2: Ground investigation and testing. This standard expands on design only where necessary, but provides full
16、 coverage of the construction and supervision requirements. This document was drafted by a working group comprising delegates from 10 European countries. Experts from Japan have taken part in the meetings of the working group and contributed to the formulation of the final draft. The working group c

EN 15237:2007 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard establishes general principles for the execution, testing, supervis
19、ion and monitoring of vertical drain projects. This European Standard includes the application of prefabricated vertical drains and sand drains and deals with requirements to be placed on design, drain material and installation methods. This European Standard applies to the improvement of low-permea
20、bility, highly compressible soils by vertical drainage and preloading. Information regarding loading (embankment, vacuum or ground water lowering) and preloading is given in informative Annexes A and B. Vertical drainage is used both in on land and in marine constructions for the following purposes:
21、 (pre-)consolidation and reduction of post-construction settlements; speeding up the consolidation process by decreasing the path lengths for pore water dissipation; increase of stability (by increasing effective stresses in the soil); groundwater lowering; mitigation of liquefaction effects. In eac
22、h case there is an overall treatment of the soil (the volume of the drains is small in relation to the soil volume treated). This European Standard does not include soil improvement by means of wells, gravel and stone columns, large-diameter geotextile enclosed columns or reinforcing elements. Verti
23、cal drainage can also be combined with other foundation or ground improvement methods, e.g. electro-osmosis, piles and compacted sand piles, dynamic compaction and deep mixing. Guidance on practical aspects of vertical drainage, such as investigation of drain properties, execution procedures and equ
24、ipment, is given in Annex A. Investigation of soil characteristics and assessment of design parameters, which are affected by drain properties and execution, are presented in Annex B. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
