5.1.1 Issues

The issue of displacement is increasingly becoming a design criterion for geotechnical structures.

  • For elementary structures such as footings or insulated piles

    A sufficient safety margin between failure and service loads generally ensures that the amplitude of displacement under service load remains acceptable, for the majority of current constructions.

    It should be noted that, for these...
