Lawinen treten in vielen Gebirgsregionen der Erde als lebensbedrohende Naturgefahr in Erscheinung und werden in den Alpen treffend als "Weißer Tod" bezeichnet. Für die Sicherung des Lebensraums und der Verkehrswege steht eine breite Palette technischer Schutzmaßnahmen (Lawinenverbauung, künstliche Auslösung, Monitoring- und Warnsysteme) zur Verfügung, die Teil einer eigenständigen Ingenieurdisziplin sind. Das Werk bietet dem Leser einen umfassenden Überblick über die Grundlagen des technischen Lawinenschutzes (Analyse, Bewertung und Darstellung von Lawinengefahren und -risiken) und stellt im Detail die Methoden der Planung, Konstruktion, Bemessung und Erhaltung von Schutzbauwerken und temporären technischen Maßnahmen dar. Die Bedeutung des technischen Lawinenschutzes weltweit wird im Überblick dargestellt. Die Beiträge zu diesem Handbuch wurden von führenden europäischen Experten des technischen Lawinenschutzes erstellt. Die dargestellten Schutzsysteme und Methoden entsprechen dem aktuellen Stand der Technik und basieren auf den normativen Standards in Österreich und in der Schweiz. Das Werk richtet sich an Ingenieure und Planer, die mit der Konzeption und Ausführung von technischen Lawinenschutzmaßnahmen betraut sind, aber auch an interessierte Leser anderer Fachdisziplinen, die mit Fragen des Lawinenschutzes konfrontiert sind. Die Autoren sind führende Fachleute für technischen Lawinenschutz in Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien, Island, Japan, Kanada, Norwegen, Österreich, der Schweiz, Spanien und in den USA.
