Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay (1993)
Thesis
Wilkin, D. Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Foundations to buildings which fail, are frequently underpinned and since 1971 when
house insurers began to offer cover for damage due to "subsidence", the underpinning
industry has grown to enjoy a multi-million pound turnover. Much of England sou... Read More about Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay.

This thesis contends that it is only by studying the many issues
around which the doctrine of strategic bombing developed during the
inter-war period that an attempt can be made to achieve a clear
understanding of the controversial character of th... Read More about The development of British strategic area bombing 1918-1945 : a study in theory and practice.
