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.
CUR is an independent non-profit organisation, based in the Netherlands, which works for the development, acquisition and transfer of knowledge and experience in the areas of construction, civil engineering and urban & rural planning. CUR initiates and co-ordinates joint research projects with both public bodies and private companies. The results are disseminated through the publication of reports, recommendations and codes of practice as well as through the organisation of seminars and other meetings.
