Review: Bought this for a school book review. It was an enjoyable read with diagrams and clear explanation of different case studies outlining each failure. Would recommend for anyone interested in structures. Review: Si te gustó "estructuras o porque las cosas no se caen" este libro también te parecerá entretenido. Reconozco que me gustó más el primero, pero el nivel de detalle de este es bastante superior y te permite aprender muchos conceptos a partir de sucesos reales. Además, incluye bocetos y esquemas para hacerlo más ameno. El inglés no es complicado, así que lo recomiendo.

Great case studies of why buildings collapse

Describes various structural failures from antiquity to present day and their causes. Each chapter treats of a different type/cause of failure and is is well cross referenced and indexed so you can browse and skip around to find what interests you. Of particular interest to me as an engineer were tables like steel Strength vs Temperature in the chapter entitled Terror From The Skies. The diagrams, drawings, and charts are clear and easy to understand. This is a serious albeit entertaining work.
