Confidential Reporting on Structural Failures and Lessons Learnt (CROSFALL) is a quarterly newsletter publication. This confidential reporting system is established in India recently by the Indian Association of Structural Engineers (IAStructE) with the objective to capture and share lessons learned from various structural failures which do not otherwise get reported and do not get the attention of the public as well as structural engineers. The intent to bring out this newsletter is to have a freely available database to be used by the construction industry to improve the safety of bridges, buildings, industrial structures, and other infrastructures of national importance. The paper will highlight the salient features of this newsletter and focus on the need for the structural engineering fraternity to contribute actively to this newsletter so that structural engineers learn important lessons from others’ mistakes and do not repeat them in their own design. |
