Designing Cathodic Protection Systems for Marine Structures and Vehicles


Book Description

Seven papers summarize the main design philosophies for cathodic protection systems to protect structures and ships from the corrosive effects of seawater. The topics include the slope parameter approach and its application to impressed current systems, the relationship of chemical components and im




Soils and Geotechnology in Construction


Book Description

This book covers the field of applied geotechnology related to all aspects of construction in ground, including compacted fill, excavations, ground improvement, foundations, earth retaining systems and geotechnical site characterization. It suits the first year of a graduate course on ground improvement and geoconstruction and will suit practicing engineers, both consultants and contractors. Distinctively it covers the identification of problematic soils and appropriate mitigation measures, and the inspection of ground construction work. It combines the technical and the practical in applied geotechnology.
