1.1 This International Standard covers the acceptance criteria for the surface inspection of steel and iron
castings by visual examination.
1.2 Acceptance levels utilize Bureau de Normalisation des Industries de la Fonderie (BNIF) and Steel
Castings Research and Trade Association (SCRATA) reference comparators for the visual determination of
surface roughness and surface discontinuities described as follows:
⎯ surface roughness;
⎯ thermal dressing;
⎯ mechanical dressing;
⎯ nonmetallic inclusions;
⎯ gas porosity;
⎯ fusion discontinuities;
⎯ expansion discontinuities;
⎯ metal inserts.

Hi. I was wondering if someone knows or have some literature about designing pile group by eurocode.
I've looked in Bond's and Harris' book about decoding ec7 and Frak's book about eurocode but didn't find anything.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Features
Guides estimators and project managers to properly scope the work of subcontractors and to avoid costly mistakes
Offers an in-depth look at all phases of the construction process
Includes solved problems and numerous examples.
Identifies several aspects of projects that can be particularly burdensome if not properly addressed
Provides specific guidance and instructions for each particular type of construction work to be performed
Summary
A single mistake, whether made during the bidding process or when executing a construction project, can potentially cost tens of thousands of dollars or more. Of course, the sooner mistakes are caught, the less costly they become. Based on the authors’ combined experience working on projects large and small, Construction Management: Subcontractor Scopes of Work delineates how project teams can avoid mistakes and run projects more intelligently, effectively, and efficiently.
This book’s concentration on the nuts and bolts of a construction project, rather than on basic philosophies and concepts, sets it apart. It focuses not on the mechanics of writing subcontract scopes of work, but on why they are written the way they are. Designed by contractors for contractors, this is not a book of simple checklists describing how to address various issues, but a compilation of practical examples and lessons learned to form a knowledge base that can be applied to any project. This knowledge can be used to prepare bid documents that clearly define the roles of the various subcontractors, ensuring the full scope of the project is covered without redundancy or duplication.
Provides invaluable training while minimizing lost productivity!
Auxiliary multiple choice tests and answer keys are available for download from the CRC website. Using this feature, executives will spend less time preparing and presenting in-house seminars, employees can study when they want and take the tests at opportune times. With this book and downloadable tests, the productivity lost due to training is reduced tremendously.
Disagreements over the scope of work required of a general contractor and/or trade subcontractors that ultimately end in construction disputes plague the construction industry. This book elucidates problematic aspects of construction projects while also providing insight into the different perspectives of the various project team members. It delivers helpful information that prevents gaps in subcontract coverage and scope disagreements and reduces potential construction disputes.
