Temporary Works: Principles of Design and Construction

Civil engineers and other contributors explain to colleagues, technicians, and graduate and undergraduate students how skills developed to build permanent works can be applied to works that are intended to last only a specific length of time. The topics include managing temporary works, lime and cement stabilization, contiguous and secant piled walls, jetties and plant platforms, access and proprietary scaffolds, and bridge installation techniques.
