Sažetak

Flood embankments are geotechnical facilities important for protection of human life and property. Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design - Part 1: General Rules; however, they are insufficiently taken into account. Design engineers are obliged to comply with the guidelines under this regulation, which are included in several EC7/1 chapters and may be confusing the engineers.
The paper attempts to provide help to the engineers in the design and dimensioning of flood embankments according to Eurocod 7.
The EC7 shortcomings with regard to flood protection dikes were noted by the group for the project monitoring – “International Levee Handbook (ILH)“ (CIRIA C731, (2013.). In 2014, they developed the national guidelines for the UK and Ireland – Application of Eurocode 7 to the design of flood embankments” (available on the internet). The text in this paper is not a translation or description of this document.
