Book excerpt: First published in 1968, Jacob Feld's Construction Failure has longbeen considered the classic text on the subject. Retaining all ofthe key components of Feld's comprehensive exploration of the rootcauses of failure, this Second Edition addresses a multitude ofimportant industry developments to bring this landmark work up todate for a new generation of engineers, architects, andstudents. In addition to detailed coverage of current design tools,techniques, materials, and construction methods, ConstructionFailure, Second Edition features an entire chapter on theburgeoning area of construction litigation, including a thoroughexamination of alternative dispute resolution techniques. Like theoriginal, this edition discusses technical and procedural failuresof many different types of structures, but is now supplemented withnew case studies to illustrate the dynamics of failure in actiontoday. Jacob Feld knew thirty years ago that in order to learn from ourmistakes, we must first acknowledge and understand them. With thisrevised volume, Kenneth Carper has ensured that Feld'snow-posthumous message will continue to be heard for years tocome. Jacob Feld's comprehensive work on failure analysis has now beenskillfully amended to address current design and constructiontools, materials, and practices. Building on the first edition'speerless examination of the causes and lessons of failure,Construction Failure, Second Edition provides you with expandedcoverage of: * Technical, procedural, structural, and nonstructural failures * Natural hazards, earthworks, soil and foundation problems, andmore * Reinforced, precast and prestressed concrete, steel, timber,masonry, and other materials * Responsibility and litigation concerns, dispute avoidance, andalternative dispute resolution techniques * Construction safety issues * Many different types of structures, including dams andbridges Construction Failure has as much to teach us today as it did thirtyyears ago. This revised volume is an essential resource for designengineers, architects, construction managers, lawyers, and studentsin all of these fields.

Book excerpt: In recent years building failures and the resulting lawsuits and awards for damages have frequently been in the news. The biggest headlines may have been reserved for structural failures and complete collapses, but we should not forget the less newsworthy failures such as leaky roofs, damp walls, dropped foundations and rotted timber. This book gives practical guidance on the prevention of failure by describing the nature and cause of the most common defects in buildings, and then shows how they should be avoided in design and construction.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREVENTION OF BUILDING AGAINST PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE: According to the modern scenario, most of the structures follow progressive collapse phenomenon. Even though buildings are designed to resist for all probable loads without any failure of structural member, they fail occasionally due to insufficient and poor design and construction techniques, especially for extreme and abnormal loads. This book deals with the analysis and design of G+3, G+ 5, G+ 7 and G+12 (with 10 different cases) storey buildings in SAP-2000 by performing Non-linear Dynamic Alternative Path Method. The variation of base shear and spectral acceleration and displacement of buildings along with deformations of the beams and axial deformation of columns over the height of the structure had evaluated & analysed and its effects on the load redistribution has also discussed, identified and characterized with the removal of column at various positions. The book will has immense benefit in structural designing of buildings against progressive collapse failure.
