About the Book

This book provides a clear, practical roadmap for ensuring the safety of modern engineered structures.

As infrastructure grows in scale and complexity, the consequences of failure become increasingly significant. This text equips engineers, designers, and safety professionals with the insights needed to prevent costly and potentially catastrophic incidents.

Key strengths of the book include:

  • A coherent framework for structural safety, offering clear principles to help professionals evaluate whether a project is genuinely safe.
  • Lessons grounded in real-world failures. The author draws on decades of industry experience and numerous case studies to reveal recurring patterns and root causes.
  • Coverage of both traditional and emerging risks including human error, material and construction failures, fire, natural hazards, and modern man‑made threats.
  • Guidance on evolving safety practice reflecting 50 years of advances in structural analysis, design methodologies, and safety culture.
  • Attention to legal and occupational responsibilities thus clarifying designers’ obligations around worker safety and health.
  • Practical tools for failure prevention. Actionable approaches to hazard identification and risk assessment are provided.
