Engineering Disasters - Lessons to be Learned shows that there is
always something to be learned from disasters. In this practical
and highly relevant text Don Lawson has provided * Thoroughly
researched accounts of well-known disasters and failures worldwide
* Valuable interpretative sections, drawing out the lessons to be
learned in each case * Examples from a wide range of industries *
Background information and views of other experts in the field * An
excellent source of references for further study * Common threads
and conclusions from accident investigations Humans design, build,
operate, use, maintain and can wreck engineering products. Humans
are fallible. Engineers have to take into account all the potential
failures of people, including other engineers, as well as failures
of equipment and materials. Design engineering is a structured
process using both art and science to create new or improved
products - building on experience, bad as well as good. Failure
occurs when something or someone fails to perform to expectations.
