Abstract:
|
Case studies of structure failures due to accidental actions are presented in the paper. Bad design
does not mean only errors of computation, but incorrect theories or confidence in inaccurate data.
The bridge structure failure during concrete pouring due to combination of the above reasons
proves this statement. The next example of a sufficiently designed and constructed temporary
platform illustrates importance of proper operations. Even an excellently constructed hall could
not stand on bad foundations. Some failures are not the result of poor project, but the consequence of
unforeseen events that create uncommon loads on structures. But, the main goal of the paper is to help
construction engineers, workers, project managers, and regulatory bodies identify problems in
construction design, project execution and management of field engineering practise.
