Why Skyscrapers Don't Fall Over: The Hidden Engineering That Keeps Our Tallest Towers Standing - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
How can a slender tower of steel and glass rise a thousand feet into the sky and still stand firm against gale-force winds and violent earthquakes? The answer is not brute strength but a hidden system of balance, load paths, and quiet engineering that most of us never see.
In this vivid, accessible book, Edward Callenford takes you inside the world of the skyscraper: the invisible highways that carry gravity down to bedrock, the giant pendulums that tame the wind, the deep foundations that grip soft ground, and the seismic design that lets a building sway without breaking. From the Empire State Building to the Burj Khalifa, and from the near-disaster of Boston's John Hancock Tower to the towers of tomorrow, every idea is grounded in real structures and real decisions.
Featuring original diagrams that make the flow of forces easy to grasp, this is a book for engineers, travelers, and anyone who has ever looked up at a tower and wondered how it stays standing. You will never see a city skyline the same way again.
