Marine Structures, Their Deterioration and Preservation: Report of the Committee on Marine Piling Investigations of the Division of Engineering and ... of the Research Council (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the complexities of protecting man-made structures built in the sea from attacks by marine borers, a major threat to the integrity of wooden piers, pilings and ships. The author was commissioned by the National Research Council to draw together the expertise of scientists from various fields in order to approach the problem from a holistic perspective. This book does not focus on one particular borer or solution, but instead examines the bigger picture including water analysis, biological surveys, and the use of substitutes for timber, most notably concrete. The result is a comprehensive investigation that provides readers with critical information regarding the scale of the problem and offers a practical examination of effective preventative measures.
