Bracing for Disaster: Earthquake-Resistant Architecture and Engineering in San Francisco, 1838-1933

Stephen Tobriner, "Bracing for Disaster: Earthquake-Resistant Architecture and Engineering in San Francisco, 1838-1933"
English | ISBN: 1597140252 | 2006 | 320 pages | EPUB | 71 MB

In 1906, San Francisco was destroyed not by the terrible earthquake of April 18, but by the fires that ensued.

The conventional wisdom holds that corruption prevented proper seismic safety in new buildings. But those presumptions are far too sweeping, according to architecture and earthquake scholar Stephen Tobriner. In fact, for the past one hundred and fifty years, architects and engineers have quietly been learning from each quake and designing newer models of earthquake-resistant building techniques and applying them in an ongoing effort to save San Francisco.
