Produktbeschreibung
Prosperity of a society is gauged by the quality of its infrastructure. Failures of faulty structures have become a major concern for the construction industry worldwide resulting in enormous losses. Such undesirable events affect all the professionals involved adversely. Structural failures are rarely due to dearth of technical knowledge but mainly due to human error, ignorance, lack of coordination among the professionals, etc. Indeed, we learn much more from failures than success. The detailed study of each distressed structure provides valuable lessons with great potential to mitigate repeat of such failures. Unfortunately, properly documented failure studies including appropriate restoration measures and their rigorous validation are rarely disseminated widely. With the above goals in mind, this book presents the findings of a detailed investigation of distressed bridge truss of pipe rack at Srinagar, Kashmir including rigorous experimental validation of proposed remedial measures. The book will be useful for professionals like managers,design consultants, architects, site engineers, contractors as well as for researchers, students etc.
