This document modifies Norm E.050 "Soils and Foundations" of the Peruvian National Building Regulations (RNE). It approves changes to technical requirements for soil mechanics studies and foundation design. Key points include:
- Reinforcing technical guidelines for excavation support structures, anchored structures, retaining walls, monitoring excavations, and quality control of support systems.
- Providing adequate regulation for deep excavation support given increased vertical building growth due to limited horizontal expansion.
- Establishing a tool for oversight by local governments and ensuring user safety by incentivizing foundations that support excavations and preserve infrastructure investments.
The modification received approval from the Permanent Commission for Updating the RNE and
