Description
This Handbook has been developed as part of the Reuse of Foundations
for Urban Sites (RuFUS) research project part-funded by the European
Commission. The project draws together experience of reusing
foundations across Europe and analyses existing knowledge and the
latest research.
The Handbook provides: a sound understanding of the background to
foundation reuse and the key issues. It gives advice on how to address
risk through sound engineering principles and presents technical guidance
on the processes for deciding on the correct foundation options. It also
provides advice on investigation, design and construction using reused
foundations.
Contents
Foreword; Acknowledgements
APPENDICES
Case histories, Financial risk case study, Whole life cost and
environmental impact case studies, Flow charts and guidelines for integrity
testing of foundations, Instrumentation case studies, Example
documentation from a typical pile foundation project.
