Structural failures can lead to costly repairs and even loss of life from "summary" of Structures by J. E. Gordon
When a structure fails, the consequences can be severe. The aftermath of such failures can result in costly repairs that strain financial resources. Additionally, the potential loss of life that may occur as a result of structural failures is a grave concern. These unfortunate events are a stark reminder of the critical importance of ensuring the safety and integrity of structures. Structural failures can occur for a variety of reasons, ranging from design flaws to material defects. In some cases, inadequate maintenance or improper construction practices can also contribute to the failure of a structure. The complexity of modern structures makes it essential to carefully consider all potential risks and vulnerabilities that could compromise th...
