This new edition of Quay Walls provides the reader with essential knowledge for the planning, design, execution, and maintenance of quay walls, plus general information about historic developments and lessons gained from observation of ports in various countries. Technical chapters are followed by a detailed calculation of a quay wall, based on semi-probabilistic design procedures, aplying the theory presented earlier. New experience has been obtained by many practitioners using the book, as well as the new Eurocodes in 2012 and additional recommendations for using FEM analysis with quay wall design, leading to the need to update this handbook.

Since the publication of the Dutch edition in 2003 and the English version in 2005, considerable new experience has been obtained by the many practitioners using the book, prompting the update of this handbook. Moreover, the introduction of the Eurocodes in 2012 has prompted a complete revision of the Design chapter, which is now compliant with the Eurocodes. Furthermore, additional recommendations for using FEM-analysis in quay wall design have been included.
In response to ongoing discussions within the industry about buckling criteria for steel pipe piles, a thorough research project was carried out on steel pipe piles fi lled with sand and on piles without sand. The results of this research programme have also been incorporated in this new version.
Finally, the section on corrosion has been updated to refl ect the latest knowledge and attention has been given to the latest global developments in quay wall engineering.
The new edition was made possible thanks to the contributions of numerous experts from the Netherlands and Belgium.
