Resaons of building failure will be studied in this course. Building failure derived from faulty design, faulty construction and misusage, lack of education, inadequate codes and standards, deficient control mechanisms, repetition of failures will be handled. Besides lecture, a termstudy depending on analysis of a case will be realized.
