Unlock practical insights into marine piling preservation and enduring waterfront structures.
This book from Marine Structures, Their Deterioration and Preservation surveys how timber, concrete, and metal piles behave in tropical and temperate harbors. It covers construction methods, materials, and observed conditions at sites like Cavite, Olongapo, and Pago Pago, plus field experiments on protection strategies.
Two sections review real-world performance of different materials, from creosoted timber to reinforced concrete and cast iron piles. The report highlights marine borers and crustaceans, their impact on piling, and the value of protective coatings and treatments. It also reports on early steel and iron structures, and notes when concrete and metal work withstands or ages under saltwater exposure. The provided observations aim to guide engineers and inspectors in choosing durable designs and effective upkeep.What you’ll experience
- A grounded look at historical construction practices for marine piles and wharf structures
- Observations on material performance, aging, and susceptibility to borers and corrosion
- Practical protection options explored, including creosote impregnation and metal coverings
- Notes on field testing and early results from experiments comparing different protective approaches
The material is presented in clear, accessible language with real-site examples, helping you understand how design choices influence longevity and repair needs for waterfront structures.
- Material-specific performance: timber, concrete, and metal piles in diverse harbor environments
- Biological and chemical factors affecting deterioration and how they’re measured
- Protection methods and their observed effectiveness over time
- Historical case studies that inform modern preservation planning
Ideal for engineers, preservation professionals, and students seeking practical context for marine structure durability.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
