Description:

The analysis of engineering failures enables engineers to learn how to create designs with a greater chance of success, by establishing the nature of each failure—structural, corrosive, electrical, etc. The database includes:

  • feature-length video documentaries of major failures;
  • monographs explaining cases in detail and describing key engineering concepts and issues;
  • simulations depicting what went wrong; primary footage of accidents (including related news segments);
  • audio footage and transcripts;
  • testimonies from participants, victims, and witnesses;
  • images, accident reports, blueprints, etc.

Over 50 seminal case studies from around the world are covered in depth.
