We structural engineers are human and so have made a number of errors over the years resulting in narrow escapes, badly performing structures, and even fatal collapses. But as Seneca continues. sed perseverare diabolicum, we must not repeat our errors. To avoid this means that we must learn from our past mistakes; we must know what went wrong and why. Some of the lessons from our past errors get embodied in clauses in codes of practice, but many do not, and the collective memory of the profession tends to fade as the generation of engineers who learnt from the mishaps and catastrophes retires. Past books on the subject of structural failures tended to deal with the general causes of failures and methods of investigation, illustrated with the more spectacular examples. However, details of some failures that have not made the headlines, but nevertheless hold important lessons, are hard to find or may not even be in the public domain. In the past, Robin Whittle and I worked together at Arup R&D on a variety of problems of concrete structures. Some of these arose from failures, and others were encountered when forestalling undesirable outcomes of the enthusiasm--untempered by experience--of some of our younger colleagues. Robin was also in close contact with researchers at the now sadly defunct Cement & Concrete Association, the Polytechnic of Central London, and the universities of Leeds, Durham, and Birmingham, and so was privy to much of the background for the initial draft and subsequent revisions of--Provided by publisher.Concrete constructionReinforced concrete constructionConcrete construction.Reinforced concrete construction.624.1834TEC009020bisacshWhittle Robin1587711MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910799909103321Failures in concrete structures3875972UNINA02939nam 22005055 450 991030034840332120251116153307.01-4471-2446-410.1007/978-1-4471-2446-7(CKB)2550000001150963(EBL)1538929(SSID)ssj0001049365(PQKBManifestationID)11668039(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001049365(PQKBWorkID)11019137(PQKB)11057721(MiAaPQ)EBC1538929(DE-He213)978-1-4471-2446-7(PPN)176096396(EXLCZ)99255000000115096320131013d2014 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAtlas of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology /edited by Henryk A.

This includes palpable lesions and lesions sampled using various radiological methods, and correlations with ancillary examinations detailed on an entity-by-entity basis. As well as being a complete atlas of the facts and findings important to FNAC, this atlas is a guide to diagnostic methods that optimize health care. The interaction of the cytologist or cytopathologist with other specialists (radiologists, oncologists and surgeons) involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with suspicious mass lesions is emphasized and illustrated throughout.   With contributions from experts in the field internationally and abundant colour images Atlas of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to FNAC for pathologists, cytopathologists, radiologists, oncologists, surgeons and others involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with suspicious mass lesions.PathologyPathologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H4800XPathology.Pathology.616.07582Domanski Henryk Aedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300348403321Atlas of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology1521898UNINA
