... Structural engineers must focus on a structure’s continued safety throughout its service life. Reinforced Concrete Structural Reliability covers the methods that enable engineers to keep structures reliable during all project phases, and presents a practical exploration of up-to-date techniques for predicting the lifetime of a structure. The book also helps readers understand where the safety factors used come from and addresses the problems that arise from deviation from these factors. It also examines the question of what code is best to follow for a specific project: the American code, the British Standard, the Eurocode, or other local codes. The author devotes an entire chapter to practical statistics methods and probability theory used in structural and civil engineering, both important for calculating the probability of structural failure (reliability analysis). The text addresses the effects of time, environmental conditions, and loads to assess consequences on older structures as well as to calculate the probability of failure. It also presents the effects of steel bar corrosion and column corrosion, and precautions to consider along with guides for design. This book offers guidelines and tools to evaluate existing as well as new structures, providing all available methods and tests for assessing structures, including visual inspection and nondestructive testing for concrete strength. It also presents techniques for predicting the remaining service life of a structure, which can be used to determine whether to perform repairs or take other action. This practical guide helps readers to differentiate between and understand the philosophy of the various codes and standards, enabling them to work anywhere in the world. It will aid engineers at all levels working on projects from the design to the maintenance phase, increasing their grasp of structure behavior, codes and factors, and predicting service life.

First Edition: The methods and equipment technology employed in the deep foundation industry have improved rapidly in recent years. The ingenuity of civil engineers, the results of new scientific research and the ongoing and new developments in machine technology have all led to the acceleration of this process. Applying technologies that have become very complex, and selecting the suitable machinery and equipment, demand ever more specialized knowledge and practical experience. It has become very difficult for users and manufacturers of special deep foundation machinery to maintain an overview of the level of technology in the sector. This compendium provides a comprehensive overview of the special deep foundation applications and processes. It is intended as an aid to planning and implementation, and aims to help practitioners, public authorities, engineering companies and students to broaden and complete their level of knowledge. It is targeted primarily at occupational engineers and applications in the field. The individual chapters discuss manufacturing techniques and potential applications, along with the associated machine components. The specifics of each method and machine technology are examined in detail. This special deep foundation compendium is the result of intensive collaboration between engineers, technicians, practitioners, machine manufacturers and users.

Second Edition: The first edition with two volumes has become standard reference books for special deep foundation methods and equipment technology. The new edition is not only a merger of Volume I and II. It also comprises new chapters to cover the complete spectrum of special deep foundation. Also, as part of this revision, all machine data were updated so that planners, authorities, engineers, technicians and students may use the compendium's state-of-the-art data and parameters. Once again, credits for authorship go to the specialists of BVV Spezialtiefbautechnik Vertriebs GmbH, Munich. The new ?Compendium Special Deep Foundation? reflects their comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of the market, their know-how of up-to-date methods and their experience with global application practice. The new compendium provides a comprehensive overview of special deep foundation methods, equipment and applications. It is designed as a tool for planning and implementation, and helps practitioners, public authorities, engineering companies and students broaden and complete their level of knowledge
