  • Abstract:
    Four of the construction failures the writer has investigated are reviewed. Two failures involved light framed timber trusses, one failure involved precast tees, and one involved overloaded steel floor joists. Each collapse centered around a failure to recognize the weakness of a partly completed structure. Human failure was the heart of the problem. The writer suggests greater attention to details by those responsible for construction procedures.
