Over the years, there have been numerous collapse of buildings. Example of this building failure or building collapse is the surfside condominium collapse in Florida united state and the Ikoyi building collapse in Nigeria Lagos state. But some of this collapse might have bee avoided if proper structural engineering was adopted.
Mitigation of structural failures is very important so we will now try to introduce a few important steps that can prevent building collapse in the future.
1. NEED OF CONSULTANTS ON BOARD
2. STRUCTURAL SCOPE
3. STRUCTURAL FEE
4. STRUCTURAL PRROF CHECKING
5. ENFORCEMENT OF ALL BUILDING RULES
6. STRUCTURAL ALTERATIONS
7. MAINTANANCE AND STRUCTURAL AUDIT FOR OLD BUILDINGS
