Sinossi
Learn from the mistakes that shaped reinforced concrete design and how to build safer, simpler structures.
This book surveys real-world failures and the lessons they reveal. It argues that much of the trouble comes from overreliance on theory that ignores common sense, and from designs that look good on paper but fail in practice. The author champions practical, straightforward approaches to design and testing, urging readers to focus on what works in the field rather than abstract formulas.
Readers will see how issues like stirrups, rodded columns, and flat slabs have led to wrecks, and why some well‑regarded theories do not hold up under real conditions. The discussion emphasizes the value of clear, testable methods and the importance of guarding against simple, avoidable failures in concrete and steel structures.
- Grounded explanations of concrete and steel failures and their causes
- Critiques of overcomplicated theory in favor of practical design guidance
- Insights from historical tests and real-world field problems
- Tips for safer, simpler construction and maintenance practices
Ideal for engineers, students, and history-minded readers who want a clear view of how failures occurred and what design choices prevent them.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the causes of structural failures, particularly of buildings and dams. A large number of disasters are analyzed in detail to show both the reasons behind their failure and the construction mistakes that led to them. The book is based on over a decade of the author's research and includes many first-hand accounts of disasters as well as previously unpublished photographs. The book also presents practical advice on how to design and build structures that are safe and unlikely to collapse. By examining historical disasters, the author presents fresh insight for modern building practices and safety codes, and demonstrates how preventable mistakes have led to countless deaths and injuries over time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
