Since the thirteenth century, quay walls of significant retaining
height have been built in the Netherlands in urban environments.
Over time, structural revisions were often carried out due to
excessive deformations or the use of increasingly larger and deeper
vessels. These historic quay walls were seldom designed for the
current functional requirements they are subjected to. These mostly
older quay walls require more maintenance and revisions to secure a
certain degree of safety. In some cases they need to be demolished
and completely rebuilt. Urban Quay Walls offers safety protocols
and a clear approach on how to inspect, design and maintain urban
quay walls. The book offers: - an insight on the development of
urban quay walls; - a description of the main forms (as used in The
Netherlands); - quicksteps for the inspection of existing quay
walls. Urban Quay Walls presents a proposal for a uniform and
standardised method to verify the actual state of current quay
walls in urban environments. This handbook presents an overview of
the development of urban quay walls over the course of time and
describes the main types in use in the Netherlands. Subsequently, a
method is presented for deciding whether or not a historic quay
wall needs to be renovated, renewed or maintained.
