• New pile types included (steel screws, jacked, cast insitu screw displacement)
New terminology
(again!)
- Brings us into
line with ISO398

Calculating φg

control supervision, construction processes that are well involvement in supervision, conventional construction processes that are not well
established and relatively straight forward construction procedures established or complex
Level of performance monitoring Detailed measurements of movements and pile Correlation of installed parameters with on-site No Monitoring
of the supported structure during 0.5 load static load tests carried out in accordance with 5 2.5
and after construction this Standard
NOTE: The pile design shall include the risk circumstances for each individual risk category and consideration of all of the relevant construction factors.

Terminology
“Common” definitions/terms
were felt as being desirable
in anticipation of confusion
arising from introduction of
new terms
