Masonry Structural Design for Low-Rise Buildings: The Invisible Structural System Hiding in Plain Sight
Engineering handbook for masonry structural design for low-rise buildings, covering context and scope, the invisible structural system hiding in plain sight, the...
Engineering↗
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↗
Long Spans and Hard Lessons: Sydney Harbour, Golden Gate and Tacoma Narrows
Two celebrated bridges and one destroyed one. The collapse taught the profession more than either success, and the mechanism is still widely taught wrongly.
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↗
Networks of Movement: Transcontinental Rail, Cable Traction and the Great Wheel
Three projects, three constraints, one lesson: at civil scale the hard engineering is in measurement, power distribution and load path, not in the visible structure.
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.
Engineering↗
The Iron and Steel Ship: Cellular Hulls and the Great Eastern
Three milestones in which a ship stopped being a shaped assembly of timbers and became a designed structure with a calculated stress distribution.
