Description

Emergency Rescue Shoring Techniques, by John O’Connell, is a complete resource on shoring and stabilization of emergency scenes. This book takes the reader step-by-step through the basic principles of emergency shoring operations so they may learn to operate in a safe and efficient atmosphere while conducting search and rescue operations in unstable environments. O’Connell thoroughly covers the engineering aspects involved in shoring and stabilization, carefully explaining how to maintain the strength and integrity of any and all structurally damaged or unstable elements such as beams, joists, girders, columns, arches, headers, or bearing walls. This book includes a glossary and covers the basic terminology and instructions for shoring, as well as an appendix covering the tools your shoring team will need. - from Amzon
