Reviews

"(Es) sind in diesem Handbuch alle wesentlichen Grundlagen zur praktischen Bearbeitung von Lawinenschutzmaßnahmen zusammengestellt, die man sich bisher entweder mühsam zusammensuchen musste, oder auch gar nicht bekam. Im Handbuch finden sich neben detaillierten Bemessungsgrundlagen auch (...) eine Zusammenstellung typischer Schäden, welche (...) wertvoll für zukünftige Planungen und Entwicklungen sind. Der technische Lawinenschutz ist ein Teilbereich des alpinen Ingenieurbaus. So sind die im Handbuch behandelten Themen auch für andere Anwendungen im alpinen Raum von Interesse, wie z.B. die speziellen Gründungstechniken oder die besondere Baustellenlogistik. Die behandelten Konzepte des Risikomanagements sind nicht auf den Lawinenschutz beschränkt. (...) Das ""Handbuch Technischer Lawinenschutz"" sollte zu einer Basislektüre für alle Akteure im Bereich des Lawinenschutzes und des alpinen Ingenieurbaus werden. Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Wolfgang Fellin, Innsbruck (aus Bautechnik 10/2011)"
