Synopsis

Modern Underpinning: Development, Methods And Typical Examples is a comprehensive guide to the development and implementation of underpinning techniques. The book is written by White and Lazarus and covers a range of topics related to underpinning, including the history of underpinning, modern methods of underpinning, and typical examples of underpinning projects. The book begins with an introduction to underpinning and its importance in building and construction. The authors then delve into the history of underpinning, tracing its origins back to ancient times and exploring its evolution over the centuries. The main section of the book focuses on modern underpinning techniques, including the various methods used to underpin structures. The authors provide detailed explanations of each method, including their advantages and disadvantages, and offer guidance on when each method is most appropriate. The book also includes numerous examples of underpinning projects, ranging from small residential properties to large commercial buildings. Each example is accompanied by detailed information about the project, including the methods used, the challenges faced, and the outcome of the project. Throughout the book, the authors emphasize the importance of proper planning and execution in underpinning projects. They provide guidance on how to assess the structural integrity of a building, how to choose the appropriate underpinning method, and how to ensure a successful outcome. Overall, Modern Underpinning: Development, Methods And Typical Examples is an essential resource for anyone involved in building and construction, from architects and engineers to contractors and builders. It provides a comprehensive overview of underpinning techniques and offers practical guidance on how to implement them effectively.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
