National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version
of EN 1537:1999. Itsupersedes those parts of BS 8081:1989 that deal
with the construction ('execution')of ground anchorages; these
parts will therefore be declared obsolescent byamendment.
The harmonized European design of ground anchorages will be
dealt with byEN 1997-1. Until it is published, the design parts of
BS 8081:1989 apply, whereafterBS 8081:1989 will be declared
obsolescent on its entirety.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to
Technical CommitteeB/526, Geotechnics, which has the responsibility
to:
aid enquirers to understand the text;
present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on
theinterpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK
interests informed;
monitor related international and European developments and
promulgatethem in the UK.
A list of organizations represented on this committee can be
obtained on request toits secretary.
