To Engineer is Human – the roll of failure in Successful Design (book review)

Title :- To Engineer is Human – the roll of failure in Successful Design

By :- Henry Petroski

Published :- Vintage books, New York (1992) Paperback (280 pages).

Outline :- An easily readable outline of famous cases where engineering structures such as bridges and buildings failed dramatically. The engineering lessons learnt not only about design, but ensuring good design is properly implemented during construction.

I am sure some structures built during Asia’s boom period were done on time and on budget, but not to properly inspected during construction !!
