SBRCUR - Handbook of foundations
The Handbook Foundations is the all-embracing reference work that brings clarity to the various foundation methods for the B+U sector in particular. It contains comprehensive information on designing and executing the foundation plan, covers all systems and types of foundations in words and images, and provides information on companies and products in the field of the various foundation techniques. The book was written by ABT in Velp and Fugro Leidschendam. The handbook consists of 2 ring binders containing approximately 1100 pages of information (A4 size). The subscription also includes a CD-ROM. With this one can easily search by random keywords.
COB - Handbooks on underground construction
Much knowledge has been collected by the Centre for Underground Construction in the handbooks Underground Construction Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 deals with underground construction in a broad perspective. Part 2 deals with underground structures created by building in construction pits and trenches. You can order the books by contacting the CDE secretariat.
COB - Introduction to underground construction
This book aims to enhance understanding of the enormous complexity of underground construction and underground space use. The interaction between technical and non-technical aspects occupies an important place. The book focuses primarily on the Dutch situation and consists of four 'parts'.
- the context and perspective of underground construction and underground use of space
- introduction to engineering
- specific technical aspects and construction methods
- a case study: the Underground Logistics System (OLS) Aalsmeer, Schiphol, Hoofddorp.
Geotextile sand elements in hydraulic engineering
April 2004, this publication was published in cooperation with Rijkswaterstaat, the Dutch Geotextile Organisation, industry and CUR. The aim is to promote the application of these constructions in the Netherlands. Geotextile sand elements are used in various hydraulic engineering structures. These sand elements consist of a closed geotextile, which is usually filled with locally extracted sand: a modern variant of the time-honoured sandbags.
The emphasis of this report is on practical application; an appendix of project descriptions is included. A follow-up publication on design and calculation of these structures is planned in due course.

14th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (Madrid)
Founded in 1936, the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Engineering(ISSMGE) holds an international conference every two years, taking place in Europe every four years. The 15th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ECSMGE) was held in Athens from 12-15 September 2011. Madrid organised the conference in 2007. The specialist journal Geotechnical Engineering published a special issue of its journal on the occasion of the conference.
