Abstract
Enables geotechnical engineers to understand the main changes introduced by Eurocode 7 and associated documents and how it will affect their everyday activities such as site and ground investigation, geotechnical element design and construction practice. Providing a timeline for implementation and looking at the impacts changes will have on geotechnical practice in the UK.

CIRIA - Basement Waterproofing - Design Guide

Abstract
Gives guidance on water and vapour protection of new and existing basements; distinguishes between guidance appropriate to deep and shallow basements; includes references to forms of deep basement construction such as diaphragm and secant walls, contiguous bored piles and shallow basements of concrete, masonry or steel sheet piling; provides illustrated examples of construction types; and takes account of the control of dampness by appropriate ventilation and heating. Intended for use by architects, engineers, surveyors, contractors and their clients.

CIRIA - Preventing Catastrophic Events in Construction

Abstract
Examines the risk of catastrophic events faced during construction by the construction industry. Looks at what catastrophic events are in construction and what can be done to seek to prevent them.
History
Prepared by CIRIA and Loughborough University.

CIRIA - SP80 - Manual of Good Practice in Sealant Application

Abstract
Joints are designed into building and civil engineering structures at discontinuities and at predetermined positions to accommodate movements. Sealants contribute towards weather tightness and provide a barrier to the passage of water, heat, dust and smoke. Provides guidance on joint design, sealant selection, sealing technique and the maintenance of joints.

Ciria C580 - Embedded retaining walls - guidance for economic design

This publication replaces the popular CIRIA report from 1984, R104 Design of retaining walls embedded in stiff clays. It book provides best practice guidance on the selection and design of vertical embedded retaining walls. It covers temporary and permanent cantilever, anchored, single and multi-propped retaining walls that are supported by embedment in stiff clay and other competent soils. It is one of the most important ground engineering publications since the mid 1980s.

The book addresses the technical and construction issues relating to the selection of appropriate wall type and construction sequence to achieve overall economy. It clarifies areas of design ambiguity and presents a clear, unambiguous method for the design of such walls. This extensive publication provides guidance on best practice in ground investigation, laboratory and field-testing, design analysis and the use of good-quality case history data. It contains more than 150 figures and photographs to illustrate this important best practice guidance.

Keywords: ground engineering, piling, ground investigation and characterisation, soil-structure interaction

CIRIA Report 146 - Design and Construction of Joints in Concrete Structures

This title provides advice on provision, specification and construction of joints in concrete construction. It aims to help structural designers and other members of the design team make informed decisions about the provision of joints in concrete structures, and to assist those responsible for the construction and supervision of joints. It covers both movement joints, which are intended to relieve potentially damaging stresses or strains, and construction joints, which are necessitated by practical limitations on the amount of concrete that can be poured, compacted and finished in one operation. The user is guided through the various design and construction issues associated with joints. Of particular importance are the successful exclusion of moisture where necessary, the filling and sealing of joints, and the preparation of construction joint surfaces to ensure satisfactory performance.

Dear Moderators,
I was checking the download links since i require some specific CIRIA available in our forum however, found most of the link are dead. Can we put fresh links to the entire collections like our good friend Grunf did earlier? It will improve this post as these are very valuable resources through our forum. I also request moderators to delete this request post as this a specific request to moderators.. I hope i am not inviting the warnings by requesting this...to put forward my request i am putting some sample dead link here...
