Essential knowledge for the planning, design, execution and maintenance of quay walls, plus general information about historic developments and lessons gained from observation of ports in various countries. Technical chapters are followed by a detailed calculation of a quay wall, based on semi-probabilistic design procedure, which applies the theory presented earlier. Quay Walls will interest anyone involved in the design, construction and use of quay walls, including designers, contractors, engineers, operators and managers. It also provides a rich source of basic information for students and professionals.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
An extremely comprehensive treatise on the design, construction and maintenance of quay walls.... This excellent publication is intelligently structured, clearly laid out ... and illustrated with numerous high quality line drawings and photographs...
This is a publication that should be found in the engineering section of every technical library and should be purchased by anybody who has a serious interest in quay walls...
