Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book tackles the critical issue of structural safety in buildings and other structures, a topic of crucial importance to architects, engineers, and the general public alike. The author delves into the history of how safety factors have been determined in building design, moving from traditional "allowable stress" methods to more sophisticated "probability-based" approaches that take into account the variability of materials and loads. The book explores the complex interplay between different types of loads - dead weight, live occupancy, wind, snow, and earthquake - and how their combinations and potential interactions affect structural reliability. The author proposes a series of load factors for building codes that are intended to achieve more consistent and reliable safety across various materials, such as steel, concrete, and timber. By examining the statistical data and reliability analyses associated with existing structures, the book presents a compelling argument for a standardized approach to building safety, ultimately aiming to improve the overall safety and performance of buildings for future generations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
