Building on Soft Soils (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: CUR Centre for Civil Engineering

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A comprehensive practical manual covering all aspects of this field, this book covers everything from the pre-design stage up to, and including, the actual use (including maintenance) of the completed structures. Much attention is given to the calculation methods available for design and construction, including establishing the soil parameters required, with emphasis placed on probabilistic safety analysis.
