A A Balkema Publishers Anchors in Theory and Practice / Anker in Theorie Und Praxis: Proceedings of the international symposium, Salzburg, Austria, 9-10 October 1995
Over the past decades a great variety of anchor types has been developed for a multitude of different applications in soils, jointed rock or homogeneous concrete, and thus the experiences gained served a basis for futher development. Special importance was attached to the design of permanent anchors with protection against corrosion and to in situ monitoring in order to ensure the permanent contribution of anchors to the stability of the structure. More than 50 papers are focussing subjects that are of interest to designers, manufacturers, contractors and owners and are dealing with the topics load bearing capacity and effect of anchors, history cases, types of anchors as well as protection against corrosion and long term behaviour.

A A Balkema Publishers Who Speaks for Tokyo Bay?: Coastal Waters Series 3
An increasing portion of the world's population and economic activity is located on lands adjacent to coastal waters. The result is ever increasing demands on the coastal resources, leading to increasing conflicts among uses and users and to decreased capacity of the resources to provide desired products and services. The study team carried out three analytical tasks. The first was to trace explicitly the evolution of the mix of uses of the bay over time, and the factors responsible therefore. The second was to analyze alternative futures to shed light on the net benefits to society of alternative management strategies. The third was to analyze existing institutional arrangements for decision-making for the Bay. Topics: Context and foci of study; Disposal of solid wastes; Living marine resources; Marine transport; Disposal of liquid wastes; Water-based recreation; Formulationn of the analysis; Estimating benefits implications for management to Tokyo Bay.
