Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Subsidence can affect many types of structure and cause a range of faults, from minor cracking to total collapse. In 2000, the Institution's Subsidence of low-rise buildings (2nd edition) was created to provide an all-embracing guide to the subject of subsidence rectification. This new guidance draws on the significant developments of the last 23 years - in areas such as data capture and trending analysis, improvements in diagnostic and investigative methods, and additional rectification processes - and benefits from a wide-ranging team of specialists to provide world-leading, in-depth guidance that has been supported by the UK's Forestry Commission. The result is a superlative publication which covers the entire subject of subsidence, from the discovery of a crack to the sign-off of a completed rectification project.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Updated guidance on designing for structural robustness and the prevention of disproportionate collapse through the consideration of risk. The first edition (2010) provided a background to the fundamental attributes of robustness and an interpretation of, and practical guidance to, the regulations being followed in the UK at the time (primarily British Standards). This second edition (2023) builds on the first, to be fully-aligned with the Eurocodes - with a particular focus on BS EN 1991-1-7 - and the Building Safety Act.

It also considers 'light steel frame' as a material distinct from steel. There is an emphasis on modern methods of construction (MMC) and a selection of new case studies.…
