Summary:
Cet ouvrage retrace l'histoire de l'évolution des techniques de construction appliquées aux ponts industriels. L'apparition du coke métallique en (1750) et du procédé de puddlage de l'acier en 1754 ont ouvert la voie à une nouvelle ère dans la construction des ponts, qui, de la pierre et du bois, sont passés au métal. 1856 est l'année de la mise au point de l'acier :(...)

L'arrivée du béton, du béton armé et du béton contraint ouvre des possibilités de réalisations jusque-là insoupçonnées, les ponts devenant d'admirables prouesses technologiques.

Summary:
Physicist Mark Denny looks at the large structures around us -- tall buildings, long bridges, and big dams -- and explains how they were designed and built and why they sometimes collapse, topple, or burst. Employing history, humor, and simple physics to consider such topics as when to use screws or nails, what trusses are, why iron beams are often I-shaped, and why(...)

Employing history, humor, and simple physics to consider such topics as when to use screws or nails, what trusses are, why iron beams are often I-shaped, and why medieval cathedrals have buttresses, Denny allows readers to appreciate the core principles that keep these engineering marvels upright without having to master complex mathematical equations.

Summary:
Since the time of ancient Rome, architects, engineers, and builders have struggled with the problem of building domed ceilings over large spaces. No one was more skilled at this than the Rafael Guastavino family, a father and son team of Spanish immigrants who oversaw the construction of thousands of spectacular thin-tile vaults across the United States between the 1880s(...)

Summary:
Since the time of ancient Rome, architects, engineers, and builders have struggled with the problem of building domed ceilings over large spaces. No one was more skilled at this than the Rafael Guastavino family, a father and son team of Spanish immigrants who oversaw the construction of thousands of spectacular thin-tile vaults across the United States between the 1880s and the 1950s. These versatile, strong, and fireproof vaults were built by Guastavino in more than two hundred major buildings in Manhattan, and in hundreds more across the country, including Grand Central Terminal, Carnegie Hall, and many major university buildings. Because the Guastavinos served only as contractors on these projects, their firm's accomplishments have remained relatively unknown to the public. Guastavino Vaulting traces the development of the remarkable construction technology from its Mediterranean roots to its highest achievements in the United States. This long overdue first monograph features archival images, drawings, and beautiful new color photography showcasing the most incredible Guastavino vaulted spaces.

Summary:
Mario Salvadori analyse tous les paramètres structurels et constructifs qui contribuent à la destruction des édifices. Un bâtiment est conçu lorsqu'il est dessiné, il naît au moment de sa construction, vit tant qu'il est debout, meurt de son grand âge ou d'un accident inattendu, et la mort accidentelle d'une construction est toujours due à la défaillance de son squelette, la structure. Grâce à l'illustration, l'auteur explicite ici les grandes catastrophes de l'histoire de l'architecture - effondrements de dômes, ponts ou tours suite à des erreurs de conception, au manque d'entretien ou à des phénomènes exceptionnels, naturels ou autres. Ce second volume a été mis à jour par les collaborateurs de Mario Salvadori après sa disparition, pour tenir compte des exemples les plus récents, notamment la destruction des tours jumelles de New York dont le processus d'effondrement est ici finement décrypté.

Summary:
The St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project was one of the greatest public works projects of the 20th century, connecting the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean by means of seven locks that raised the level of the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Lake Ontario. After more than 50 years of negotiations, the project finally began in 1954 and was completed in 1958, due to close cooperation between the Canadian and US governments. This major engineering feat employed 22,000 people who migrated to Massena (New York) and Cornwall (Ontario) to work on this project. This book focuses on the project's human side through a series of oral histories and historical narratives.
