Features: This book focuses on discussing engineering accident manifestations in terms of basic, main structural design, construction, and usage, particularly the aging damage characteristics and patterns of structures that develop over service life. It closely integrates relevant national and industry standards, such as structural testing methods, inspection and appraisal standards, and reinforcement specifications, as the basis for theoretical analysis and scientific inspection and appraisal methods. Based on existing experience and lessons, the inspection and appraisal of old and hazardous buildings, as well as the diagnosis and handling of engineering accidents, exhibit complexity, risk, and the potential for chain reactions and accident escalation. As a result, there are numerous difficulties in handling methods, timing, processes, and design and construction. This requires those involved in this work not only to have a strong sense of responsibility and strictly adhere to regulations and standards but also to set corresponding requirements and specifications for the qualifications and technical standards of inspection and appraisal personnel.
