Description
Redevelopment and regeneration of urban areas have left a legacy of old
foundations, congested underground space and archaeological artefacts.
This legacy compromises new developments and the project 'Reuse of
Foundations for Urban Sites' (RuFUS), partly funded by the EU, has
developed and proving new processes to provide environmentally
sustainable foundations for future developments.
This volume presents papers by the RuFUS project partners and authors
from Europe and further afield. It provides valuable technical information
and case studies on successful resue of foundations, and extends the
guidance presented in the RuFUS best practice handbook.The papers are
presented under five themes: Decision making, Foundation assessment
methods, Foundation performance, Who pays? Getting it right.
