Ever wonder how a graceful and slender bridge can support enormous loads over truly astonishing spans? Why domes and free-standing arches survive earthquakes that flatten the rest of a city? This title looks at the large structures around us and explains how they were designed and built and why they sometimes collapse, topple, or burst.
