ABSTRACT
Caissons and monolithic structures have such specific problems of execution that they will be treated in a separate chapter (see Chapter 14). A more thorough knowledge is required to satisfy some aspects of the above items. Details of the construction and use of mattresses (13.3), the provision and handling of quarry stone (13.5), the use of rolling and floating equipment in various conditions (13.6) and finally some very specific techniques and ancillary equipment (13.7) are given in the next sections. Some details of construction equipment are given in Appendix 8.
