Abstract | A basic requirement of any civil engineering structure is that it does not collapse, causing death, injury or economic loss. It is a requirement that cannot be made absolute. Structures have collapsed, and even with improved technology they will continue to do so. This Digest will consider the risks involved, the main reasons for structural collapse, and how risks are taken into account by structural engineers in design. Finally, as an aid to designers and builders, the Digest will include a list of specially vulnerable situations that have caused most structural collapses in Canada. |
