Causes of Structural Failure
- Overstress from additional long-term dead
loads, such as multiple layers of roofing material, is one of the primary
causes of structural failure.
- Water and other natural elements play a big part in
construction materials to fail.
- The addition of dead loads, not included
in the original design, such as air conditioning or mechanical equipment,
suspended ceilings & light fixtures, crane tracks, fire sprinkler systems,
etc.
- Imperfections in beam fabrication,
defects in timber, glue failures between laminations, and joint failures
- Exposure to chemicals, extreme heat and
moisture
- Lumber fatigue due to age
- Seismic loads
- Improperly installed mechanical equipment
- Oversights in original design
- Poor soil conditions
- Concrete poured in layers not in a monolithic pour
