Description
Hidden conditions of compromised structural integrity exist in some buildings. Some of these conditions reveal themselves in sudden and catastrophic failures, some are discovered and addressed prior to such an event, while some remain undetected, creating the potential for some future unfortunate event to occur. These problems can be caused by design error, poor material or system choices, construction flaw or defect, inappropriate modification, environmental deterioration, lack of maintenance, or a combination of the above.
This webinar is a collection of over thirty brief stories about structural building problems. Each of them were either discovered through a condition review by the author, or identified by the author after a failure event. At the end, we’ll present recommendations for when building reviews by a senior structural engineer should be performed. By then, the reasons for doing a review should be obvious - since human beings design and construct buildings, some degree of human error should be assumed.This webinar is co-sponsored by ASCE's Structural Engineering Institute and ASCE Continuing Education.
