Building in Brick and Stone: The Ziggurat, the Corbel and the True Arch
Four milestones in spanning a gap and standing up, using materials strong in compression and nearly useless in tension.
Engineering↗
Building Tall: Foundations, the Skeleton Frame and Wind
Four milestones in which building height stopped being limited by structure and started being limited by economics.
Engineering↗
Modern Civil Works: Base Isolation, the Channel Tunnel, Cable-Stayed Spans and Supertall Towers
Four milestones showing what changed in civil engineering once dynamic behaviour could be analysed properly and construction method became the primary design driver.
Engineering↗
Rome: Pozzolanic Concrete, the Aqueduct and the Engineered Road
Four milestones from the civilisation that industrialised construction: a cement that sets under water, gravity supply at metropolitan scale, roads specified to their duty, and …
Engineering↗
Spanning the Gap: The Iron Bridge, the Truss and the Suspension Chain
Three milestones in which metal replaces masonry as the primary structural material, and in which someone tests it before building with it.
Engineering↗
The Gothic Structural System: Ribbed Vault, Pointed Arch and Flying Buttress
Four milestones in which builders working without any theory of statics arrived, by observation and by failure, at a structural system of remarkable efficiency.
