Rupture par fissuration des structures explores the mechanisms by which structural systems fail under stress. Drawing on principles of material science and engineering, the work examines crack initiation, propagation, and the resulting loss of integrity in a variety of constructions—from bridges and buildings to mechanical components. The author presents case studies, theoretical models, and practical guidelines for diagnosing and mitigating fracture-related damage. Intended for engineers, architects, and students of structural analysis, the book balances technical depth with clear explanations, offering insight into both classic failure modes and contemporary approaches to resilience. Published in 1995 by Hermes, this 361‑page paperback serves as a reference for professionals seeking to understand and prevent catastrophic ruptures in modern infrastructure.
