The EC7 rules of geotechnical design are in use in Poland for several years, even though there is no National annex. With regard to pile foundations, there are valid EC7 recommendations concerning design approaches, load partial coefficients, correlation coefficients and capacity partial coefficients. Polish designers can be quite flexible when it comes to choose a method for static, bearing capacity and settlement calculations. However, all these methods have to meet the Eurocode 7 requirements, be based on physic, soil mechanics and general mechanics laws and come from a recognized source (revised publications, books, codes e.t.c.) or have a strong experimental documentation. In this report, main general rules and methods of pile foundation design, construction and examination were discussed.
