THE BUREAU SECURITAS AND SOCOTEC CHRONICLES. DISORDERS IN METAL CONSTRUCTION

LES CHRONIQUES DU BUREAU SECURITAS ET DE LA SOCOTEC - PATHOLOGIE DE LA CONSTRUCTION METALLIQUE

This very comprehensive study of the main causes of failure in metal structures (bridges, hangars, pylons, silos, rolling bridges, etc) is based on the files of the Bureau Securitas: accidents due to design faults, errors of calculation, faulty manufacture or incorrect installation. Numerous examples are given, which show the errors' origin or measures taken in time by the control organization to prevent them. (TRRL)
