Building Failures: Diagnosis and Avoidance, 2nd Edition
Da: killarneybooks, Inagh, CLARE, Irlanda
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 2nd Edition. Hardcover, viii + 184 pages, numerous b&w photos in text, NOT ex-library. Gently yellowed endpapers; 5 lines of text highlighted on p.87; small marks on outer page edges. Else book is clean and bright, untanned, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This book provides a structured examination of why buildings fail, how professionals can identify root causes, and what preventive strategies can be applied to avoid recurrence. It explores mechanisms such as structural overstress, water and moisture movement, material decay, thermal effects, and chemical reactions, proceeding to detailed techniques for surveys, photography, sampling, laboratory and field tests. Case studies illustrate failures observed in residential and commercial properties, including corrosion of reinforcement, movement in masonry, defects in prefabricated concrete, and deterioration arising from workmanship or specification errors. Attention is given to systemic issues from post-war urban reconstruction and large scale housing projects, with comparisons drawn across European practice. The work evaluates both physical processes and human factors such as design decisions, regulatory frameworks, quality control, and maintenance responsibilities. By combining scientific analysis with applied procedure, it establishes building pathology as a professional discipline addressing both diagnosis and prevention of failure. Codice articolo 011927
