When bridges fail, often with loss of human life, those involved
may be unwilling to speak openly about the cause. Yet it is
possible to learn from mistakes. The lessons gained lead to greater
safety and are a source of innovation.
This book contains a systematic, unprecedented overview of more
than 500 bridge failures assigned to the time of their occurrence
in the bridges' life cycle and to the releasing events. Primary
causes are identified. Many of the cases investigated are published
here fpr the first time and previous interpretations are shown to
be incomplete or incorrect. A catalogue of rules that can help to
avoid future mistakes in design analysis, planning and erection is
included.
A lifetime's work brilliantly compiled and courageously presented -
a wealth of knowledge and experience for every structural engineer.
