The emerging design methodology Reliability-Based Design has become today’s norm in Japanese structural design codes and will soon be included in the international standard codes. To meet this trend, methods for the design and construction of deep foundations have made large advances. As deep foundation construction is one of the most important and applied executions in geotechnical engineering worldwide, both research work by academics and the experience and ideas of practitioners are required to develop this field and meet future standards.

Managing Knowledge in the Construction Industry / Spon Research / Alexander Styhre
Product Description
Knowledge management presents a new way of understanding organizations and companies, and is especially suited to sophisticated and highly technical firms and operations such as those in the construction industry.
This new book draws on hard data from three separate research programs in Sweden and shows how the concept of knowledge can make sense in the construction industry, an industry which can be viewed in essence as being engaged in the material transformation of nature into buildings. In particular it explores and examines three different businesses: a medium sized construction firm; Wingårdh Architecture, Sweden’s most prestigious architecture firm; and BESAB, a specialist concrete injection firm working on underground construction. An emerging theme is the situational and context-bound nature of knowledge in the construction industry, thus showing knowledge to be a remarkably heterogeneous concept.
A range of readers should find the book useful, from students and construction managers through to researchers.
