In a straightforward style, this book presents a detailed
overview of 20 cases of famous and other highly interesting bridge
collapses over the last two centuries. Every case is illustrated
and described in detail and the failure analyses made are supported
by well-known explanations and, in some cases, by new theories. The
chronological order makes it easy to follow the gradual development
in the use of different bridge types and the choice of construction
material. The increase of knowledge and experience in the
structural engineering discipline over the years is clearly
observable, although every modern engineer will admit that both
fatigue and buckling are very complex phenomena and that knowledge
about them can increasingly profit from studying past bridge
construction projects failures. Intended for consulting engineers
(bridges, steel and metal structures) and for advanced-level and
postgraduate students in structural and bridge engineering.
