Structural failures can occur due to a variety of factors from "summary" of Structures by J. E. Gordon

The collapse of a structure can often be attributed to a multitude of factors, each playing a significant role in the event. It is essential for engineers and architects to understand these various factors to prevent such failures from occurring in the future. One of the primary reasons for structural failures is poor design. If a structure is not designed to withstand the loads it will experience during its lifetime, it is at risk of collapsing under stress. Design flaws can include inadequate support, insufficient materials, or improper calculations, all of which can lead to catastrophic consequences. Material failure is another common factor in structural collapses. If the materials used in construction are not of high quality or if they degrade over time due to environmental factors, the structural integrity of the building can be com...
