Hot-dip galvanization is a method for coating steel workpieces with a protective zinc film to enhance the corrosion resistance and to improve the mechanical material properties. Hot-dip galvanized steel is the material of choice underlying many modern buildings and constructions, such as train stations, bridges and metal domes. Based on the successful German version, this edition has been adapted to include international standards, regulations and best practices. The book systematically covers all steps in hot-dip galvanization: surface pre-treatment, process and systems technology, environmental issues, and quality management. As a result, the reader finds the fundamentals as well as the most important aspects of process technology and technical equipment, alongside contributions on workpiece requirements for optimal galvanization results and methods for applying additional protective coatings to the galvanized pieces. With over 200 illustrated examples, step-by-step instructions, presentations and reference tables, this is essential reading for apprentices and professionals alike.

Guidelines for the design of stress-laminated timber decks have been published by AASHTO, but they do not provide comprehensive information on materials, construction, and inspection. Therefore, this document presents: (1) background information on timber bridge materials and their quality control; (2) a comprehensive step-by-step design procedure based on the 1991 AASHTO Guide Specification; and (3) guidelines for construction, field monitoring, inspection, and maintenance procedures. Potential fabrication problems are discussed, and an inspection checklist is included.
