Abstract

Structural failure happens when the material of the structure is stressed to its strength limit which causes extreme deformation and fracture. Structural failure can be prevented by proper design and by studying the causes of past failures. The cause of failures helps to avoid mistakes which led to that type of failure and this mistake helps in further construction. This paper includes case studies and their causes of failures. It includes four case studies of RC and masonry building, In which one case study of truss bridge and one of cold-formed steel structure. All the structures collapse during years 2018-19.
