ABSTRACT

Failures and defects in a structure are common phenomena in construction industry. Negative impacts may arise towards cost, duration and resources of project. Failures and defects can cause unnecessary expenditure and delays. Furthermore, if this situation is left unanswered and untreated, it will lead to more serious problems in the future upcoming construction projects. Therefore this study is aimed to identify contribution factors to building defect and failures, which frequently occur in construction project in order to minimize time and cost involved. This study is succeeds in identifying the common contribution factors of the structural defects and the failures in construction project. Investigation details of the failure will provide many lessons to construction professionals from past failures so that replication of such failures could be eliminated or minimize. “Forensic Engineering is the study of materials, products, structures or components that fail or does not operate or function as designed, causing damage to property. This is useful to develop practices and procedures to reduce the number of failures and to provide guidelines for conducting failure investigation”. This study will investigate the cause of the failure of a structurally damaged building & also investigates the strength & life of an existing building. The study examines the effect of the quality of material used for concrete production & also for the check for analysis & designing.
