Preface and acknowledgements
This book should be a valuable resource for professionals involved in provision of
coastal infrastructure, and specifically for coastal or marine infrastructure engineers
involved in planning, designing and constructing marine concrete facilities. It is the
combined efforts of 17 authors, who in their respective fields are highly knowledge-
ableandexperiencedprofessionals.Theauthorscomefromninecountries,indicating
thewidescopeofexpertisedrawnupon.AfairnumberoftheseauthorsarefromSouth
Africa, buttheirexperience isinternational.
Thetitle,“MarineConcreteStructures:Design,DurabilityandPerformance,”sug-
geststhatthemajorconcernofthebookisdurabilityofmarineconcreteinfrastructure
andperformanceofthisinfrastructureinservice.Marinestructurescanbeexposedto
some of the harshest environments on the planet. Despite this, many perform
adequatelyfordecadesandlonger,whichisatestimony totheirdesign,construction
andthematerialsusedtobuildthem.Nevertheless,withthelikelyincreaseinconstruc-
tion of marine concrete infrastructure in the future, it is timely that a book like this
should beconcerned with these important aspects.
Thebookisuniqueinthatitbringstogetherinthreepartsaspectssuchasdesignand
specification,constructionmethodologiesandchallenges;performanceandproperties,
includingdurabilityanddeterioration;andacomprehensivecollectionofcasestudies
of significant marine concrete structures. These include, inter alia, the Confederation
BridgeinCanada,DanishStraitCrossings,marinasintheGulfregion,largeandsmall
harbor structuresand the new Panama Canal.
I am hugely indebted to all the authors who gave unstintingly of their time and
expertise in writing the specialist chapters for this book. Their names are given in
therespectivechapters.IalsoacknowledgeDr.JamesMackechnieforvaluableinfor-
mationthat he provided onthe Simonstown Jettyin Chapter 14.
Lastly,IwishtothanktheWoodheadeditorialandproductionteam:GwenJones,
Kate Hardcastle and Charlotte Cockle.
