Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 1907, the Quebec Bridge was intended to be a masterpiece of cantilever engineering, the longest of its kind in the world. Instead, it became a tomb for 75 workers when the structure twisted and collapsed into the St. Lawrence River. The disaster was caused by a fundamental miscalculation of the bridge's own weight-an error that was ignored by the lead engineer, Theodore Cooper, due to professional pride.This book dissects the high-stakes world of early 20th-century bridge building. It examines the 'Iron Ring' tradition in Canadian engineering and how this tragedy birthed the modern standards of professional accountability. The narrative traces the bridge's second failure in 1916, proving that even after catastrophe, lessons in physics are often ignored by ambition.Through original blueprints and disciplinary hearing transcripts, the author reveals the toxic hierarchy that allowed workers' warnings to be silenced. It is a chilling study of how mathematical errors, combined with institutional arrogance, lead to physical collapse.Discover the blood-stained history of our modern infrastructure and the ethical codes that were written in the rubble of the Quebec Bridge.
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - How can a massive, heavily trafficked steel suspension bridge suddenly and violently disintegrate into a freezing river in a matter of seconds The terrifying collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967 remains one of the deadliest and most consequential structural failures in American history.Connecting Ohio and West Virginia, the Silver Bridge was built using a unique, cost-saving 'eyebar' chain design. What engineers failed to realize was that this architecture was non-redundant; if a single link failed, the entire bridge would instantly fall. Over forty years, a microscopic, 0.1-inch stress crack formed inside one of the steel joints, hidden entirely from visual inspection. During rush hour traffic just before Christmas, that single tiny crack finally gave way, plunging forty-six people into the deadly currents of the Ohio River.This gripping engineering forensic analysis explores the lethal intersection of physics and negligence. It documents the harrowing rescue efforts, the painstaking metallurgical reconstruction of the steel, and the immediate, panicked creation of the national bridge inspection standards.Witness the fragile threads of modern infrastructure. The Silver Bridge disaster is a chilling reminder of how a microscopic chemical flaw can effortlessly destroy thousands of tons of steel.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'What do structures such as the Eiffel Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the concrete roofs of Pier Luigi Nervi have in common According to The Tower and the Bridge, all are striking examples of structural art, an exciting area distinct from either architecture or machine design. Aided by stunning photographs, David Billington discusses the technical concerns and artistic principles underpinning the well-known projects of leading structural engineer-artists, including Othmar Ammann, éFlix Candela, Gustave Eiffel, Fazlur Khan, Robert Maillart, John Roebling, and many others. A classic work, The Tower and the Bridge introduces readers to the fundamental aesthetics of engineering. An essential exploration of the engineering aesthetics of celebrated structures from long-span bridges to high-rise buildings.'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - When London's Millennium Bridge opened to the public in the year 2000, it was hailed as a triumph of modern, sleek architecture. But within hours of the grand opening, panic set in. As thousands of pedestrians poured onto the suspension bridge, the entire structure began to violently sway from side to side, forcing authorities to close the multi-million-pound crossing almost immediately.The architects had accounted for wind, weather, and the sheer weight of the crowd, but they missed a crucial behavioral quirk of human biomechanics. When the bridge swayed slightly, pedestrians unconsciously adjusted their gait to maintain balance, falling into synchronized step with one another. This 'synchronous lateral excitation' created a massive, self-amplifying harmonic resonance that pushed the steel structure to its physical limits.This book breaks down the fascinating mathematics of structural resonance. You will explore the complex physics of harmonic oscillation, the panicked engineering investigations, and the eventual installation of dozens of hidden fluid-viscous dampers that finally stabilized the walkway.Cross the bridge between human behavior and structural engineering. Discover how the simple act of walking nearly destroyed an architectural masterpiece.
