Durability of Engineering Structures
Preface
Ever since I became involved in durability, maintenance and repair of civil
engineering structures some 30 years ago, I have been appalled by the errors
made. While the knowledge on sound design for durability for a specified
service life without unexpected maintenance and repair was available
through consultants such as me, it was often not applied by designers or
contractors. By spending a few thousand euro on a consultant and approximately
ten thousand euro on additional measures,
millions could be saved.
Ranging from the Deira–Shindagah tunnel in Dubai to the Eastern Scheldt
Barrier in the Netherlands, knowledge was available but not applied.
