Case histories of engineering success and failure are presented to enrich understanding of the design process.
1. Introduction; 2. Paconius and the pedestal for Apollo: a paradigm of error in conceptual design; 3. Vitruvius's Auger and Galileo's Bones: paradigms of limits to size in design; 4. Galileo and the marble column: a paradigm of a design change for the worse; 5. Galileo's confirmation of a false hypothesis: A paradigm of logical error in design; 6. The design and collapse of the Dee Bridge: a paradigm of success masking error; 7. The Britannia Tubular Bridge: A paradigm of tunnel vision in design; 8. Failure as a source of engineering judgment: John Roebling as a paradigmatic designer; 9. The design climate for the Tacoma Narrows Bridge: a paradigm of the selective use of history; 10. Historic bridge failures and caveats for future designs; 11. Conclusion; References and bibliography; Index.
