The conclusions of the men and women who, quite literally, pick up the pieces at the sites of some of the world's worst structural failures are crucial. This book describes the search for vital clues sifted from layers of debris, staged reconstructions of virtual buildings and their collapses, and the results of stringent scientific tests on vital bits and pieces of metal - all to determine how, when and why. Today, as the structures that define our landscape become ever more architecturally sophisticated, understanding mistakes is vital; it is the only way of ensuring that buildings, bridges and other structures will stay where we want them - standing up.
