Ringkasan

Skyscraper Disasters explores the history of high-rise structural failures, emphasizing the critical lessons learned from past tragedies. It argues that understanding these disasters is crucial for preventing future incidents by examining design flaws, material failures, and construction errors. One intriguing fact is that the race to build taller structures has sometimes outpaced our understanding of material science, leading to compromised safety standards. The book uniquely combines historical analysis with engineering insights, avoiding sensationalism to focus on objective technical factors.

The book begins by introducing fundamental structural engineering principles relevant to skyscraper design. It then progresses through detailed case studies of notable skyscraper disasters, showing how specific factors contributed to each failure. For example, it explores structural collapses caused by design errors, fires, and external impacts. This approach helps identify recurring patterns in failures and develop more robust design methods.

The book culminates in a discussion of current best practices, highlighting the importance of rigorous testing, advanced materials, and comprehensive risk management in architectural design and structural engineering. By drawing from investigation reports, engineering analyses, and eyewitness accounts, Skyscraper Disasters provides vital information for architects, engineers, urban planners, and anyone interested in the history of architecture.
