This new edition of the handbook of Quay Walls provides the reader with essential knowledge for the planning, design, execution and maintenance of quay walls, plus general information about historic developments and lessons gained from observation of ports in various countries. Technical chapters are followed by a detailed calculation of a quay wall, based on semi-probabilistic design procedures, applying the theory presented earlier. New experience has been obtained by many practitioners using the book, as well as the new Eurocodes in 2012 and additional recommendations for using FEM-analysis with quay wall design, leading to the need to update this handbook.
