It’s hands-on science with a capital “E”—for engineering. Beginning with the toppling of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, to the destructive, laserlike sunbeams bouncing off London’s infamous “Fryscraper” in 2013, here is an illustrated tour of the greatest engineering disasters in history, from the bestselling author of The Book of Totally Irresponsible Science. Each engineering disaster includes a simple, exciting experiment or two using everyday household items to explain the underlying science and put learning into action. Understand the Titanic’s demise by sinking an ice-cube-tray ocean liner in the bathtub. Stomp on a tube of toothpaste to demonstrate what happens to non-Newtonian fluids under pressure—and how a ruptured tank sent a tsunami of molasses through the streets of Boston in 1919. From why the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans to the fatal design flaw in the Sherman tank, here’s a book of science at its most riveting.

As the result of resource exploitation and underground space development, the engineering disasters appear, including landslides, tunnel collapses, earthquakes, debris flow and urban facility failures, which may lead to substantial economic damages and loss of lives. The engineering challenges from the geotechnical engineering have attracted wide attention. A large number of engineering disasters, like water gushing, sand inrush, seepage damage, gas leakage and gas explosion, are triggered due to the complex environment such as high water or gas stress, seepage effect and fluid-solid interaction. In order to control the engineering disaster, the primary task to be solved is to reveal the engineering disaster initiation and evolution mechanism induced under complex environment.

There is much to be gained from the study of catastrophes. Likewise the records of accidents in industry and transport are of great importance, not only by indicating trends in the incidence of loss or casualties, but also as a measure of human behaviour. The third edition of this well received book places emphasis on the human factor, with the first two chapters providing a method of analysing the records of accident and all-cause mortality rates to show their relationship with levels of economic development and growth rates, and to make suggestions as to the way in which such processes may be linked. Case histories are given throughout the book. These are designed to show how human frailty, or the unexpected weakness of materials, or a combination of both, can lead to dire and tragic circumstances. - Understand why disasters occur and how they could have been avoided - Emphasis is placed on the human factor in catastrophes - Case studies illustrate the factors that can lead to dire and tragic circumstances

This book fills the gap between failure analysis theory and the actual conducts of the failure cases. The book demonstrates the main methodologies that have evolved over time and includes examples from the 1970s to date. Engineering calculations and estimation of system stresses and strengths are given in the relevant chapters. It presents a wide range of cases studies, ranging from mechanical engineering, metallurgy, mining, civil/structural engineering, electrical power systems, and radiation damage.
