Quay Walls (2005, Hardcover, Handbook (Instructor's)) by download DJV, DOC
9780415364393 English 0415364396 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., This book focuses on the interaction of various parts of the structure of quay walls and the underlying geological formation and provides an extended overview of the knowledge and experience in the area of the design, construction, and management of quay walls. It first provides a summary of the main types of walls and explains various construction methods illustrated with practical examples. Subsequently, the book examines all stages of the design process; the principles and requirements for safety, strength, stability, and serviceability; the characteristics of various construction materials; measures to prevent corrosion or damage; and new developments affecting design, construction, and management.
