OverviewSubsidence can affect many types of structure and cause a range of faults, from minor cracking to total collapse. In 2000, the Institution’s Subsidence of low-rise buildings (2nd edition) was created to provide an all-embracing guide to the subject of subsidence rectification. This new guidance draws on the significant developments of the last 23 years — in areas such as data capture and trending analysis, improvements in diagnostic and investigative methods, and additional rectification processes — and benefits from a wide-ranging team of specialists to provide world-leading, in-depth guidance that has been supported by the UK’s Forestry Commission. The result is a superlative publication which covers the entire subject of subsidence, from the discovery of a crack to the sign-off of a completed rectification project Full Product DetailsAuthor: The Institution of Structural EngineersPublisher: IStructE Ltd Imprint: IStructE Ltd ISBN: 9781906335649ISBN 10: 1906335648 Pages: 204 Publication Date: 10 November 2023 Audience: General/trade Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
