Following on from the previous joint publications, this new edition of EAU 1996 contains the safety concept with partial safety factors in accordance with the Eurocodes or the European prestandards as well as with the corresponding German standards and prestandards, while taking into account the National Application Document (NAD). This revised version follows the goal of harmonising European standards, while much updating and streamlining means that the recommendations continue to satisfy the requirements for international acknowledgement and application with regard to planning, design tendering, the awarding of contracts, building and building supervision. Further, the inspection and accounting procedures for harbour and waterway constructions are given from uniform points of view.
