Designed for classroom use, each case study contains a brief summary, lessons learned, and references to key sources. This new edition, which replaces the 1995 classic edited by Robin Shepherd and J. David Frost, offers expanded descriptions, additional photographs and diagrams, and updated references. It also includes new case studies, such as the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, the Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal, and the North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Water Treatment Plant. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efoundation failures; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eembankment, dam, and slope failures; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egeoenvironmental failures; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebridge failures; and \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebuilding failures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book supplies valuable resource material on typical failures that can be integrated into undergraduate engineering courses.
