Engineering Risk and Disaster: Disaster-STS and the American History of Technology

Engineering Studies, 2014
For a long time the historiographies of engineering and technology focused on technological intensification and progress across society, the economy, and government. Little specific attention was reserved in these narratives for risk, disaster, failure, and blame.

The role of professional engineers in disaster management

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Forensic Engineering, 2013
The current scale and frequencies of emergencies that develop into disasters necessitate a professional approach to their management. New initiatives for building resilience provide opportunities for professional engineers to actively engage in proactive services.

Disaster prevention and mitigation in railway engineering

Applied and Computational Engineering, 2023
With the rapid development of railway engineering, the scope of railway construction has been extended to mountainous areas, basins and other geological environments. In these areas, railway construction needs to pay attention to landslides, earthquakes and other disasters, otherwise it will threaten unnecessary economic losses and even personal safety.

Engineering Measures for Landslide Disaster Mitigation

2008
Correction of an existing landslide or the prevention of a pending landslide is a function of a reduction in the driving forces or an increase in the available resisting forces. Any remedial measure used must involve one or both of the above parameters.

Platforms: engineering panacea, marketing disaster?

Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 2001
For the global automotive industry, platforms are the panacea of the 1990s, the perfect way to combine economies of scale, globalisation, multi-branding, and rapid rates of new product introduction. This paper explores the production and marketing logic of platform strategies within multi-brand constellations.

Organizing Engineering Volunteers for Disaster Relief

Issues in Engineering: Journal of Professional Activities, 1982
National and manmade disasters disrupt people's lives and make them dependant on others. This is particularly severe in the least developed countries often subject to their neighbor's political and racial upheavals. Seldom are such outcomes newsworthy.
