Re: Statics - You need to take this classI recall reading an interesting book about failures. Some interesting chapters on famous structure failures related to early iron and steel development, but there are other kinds of failures too (like systems and humans). I've always thought it was instructive to try to understand failure as well as success. I've been no stranger to both.This book won't help you build stages, but was a good read.http://www.amazon.com/Engineer-Human-Failure-Successful-Design/dp/0679734163/ref=sr_1_101?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1313608196&sr=1-101JR
