Collapsed barn at Hörsne, Gotland, Sweden Building collapse due to snow weight. Structural integrity and failure is an aspect of engineering that deals with the ability of a structure to support a designed structural load (weight, force, etc.) without breaking and includes the study of past structural failures in order to prevent failures in future designs.
Cantilever bridge crossing Han River: Structural failure due to bad welding 32 killed, 17 injured 48-metre (157 ft) slab between the fifth and the sixth piers collapsed Structural failure was caused by improper welding of the steel trusses of the suspension structure beneath the concrete slab roadway.

More experienced engineers may be responsible for the structural design and integrity of an entire system, such as a building. [citation needed] Structural engineers often specialize in particular types of structures, such as buildings, bridges, pipelines, industrial, tunnels, vehicles, ships, aircraft, and spacecraft.
The following projects are currently known as some of the biggest on-going bridge monitoring The California Department of Transportation is supporting development of the Bridge rapid assessment center for extreme events (BRACE 2) [9] to facilitate real-time structural health monitoring across the California highway network. Bridges in Hong Kong.
In the context to structural analysis, a structure refers to a body or system of connected parts used to support a load. Important examples related to Civil Engineering include buildings, bridges, and towers; and in other branches of engineering, ship and aircraft frames, tanks, pressure vessels, mechanical systems, and electrical supporting structures are important.
The International Journal of Structural Integrity is a bi-monthly peer-reviewed academic journal covering research on damage tolerance design, structural integrity and failure. It was established in 2010 and is published by Emerald Publishing .
Structural Integrity is a scientific book series covering the research field and technical view of the structural integrity and failure area. The series was established in 2017 and is published by Springer Science+Business Media. The editors-in-chief are José A.F.O. Correia and Abílio De Jesus (University of Porto).
