In addition it is rather long and unstructured. For instance 'Product Types' aren't split in to A, B and C - a fairly important aspect which is only introduced late on in the article as a sub-point below &amp;quot;The existing form of construction&amp;quot;.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -----<br /> BS 8102:2009 replaces BS 8102:1990, which is now withdrawn. This is a full revision of the standard, and includes the following changes:<br /> <br /> a) A number of recent developments are addressed, which are important when specifying, designing and constructing below ground structures, including:<br /> <br /> 1) More deep construction in congested urban areas&lt;br /&gt;<br /> 2) An increase in the provision of residential basements&lt;br /&gt;<br /> 3) Development and use of new materials for waterproofing<br /> <br /> b) A more detailed assessment is provided of the risks in below ground construction and how these might best be addressed.</div>
