Description

Urban Quay Walls: Maritime Structures provides a detailed look at the history and management of significant retaining structures in the Netherlands. Since the thirteenth century, quay walls in urban environments have undergone constant changes due to structural revisions, excessive deformations, and the demand for deeper, larger vessels. Many of these historic structures were not originally designed for the functional requirements they face today. This book addresses the challenges of maintaining older quay walls to ensure safety and stability. It covers the necessary maintenance, revisions, and the difficult decisions regarding when a structure requires repair or must be demolished and rebuilt to meet modern standards. For professionals and students interested in maritime engineering and urban development, this CRC Press publication offers a clear perspective on managing aging infrastructure in water-based urban settings. It serves as a resource for understanding how historic maritime structures adapt to modern-day pressures and the technical requirements for securing their future use.
