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.
Renovation work from 2023 to early 2025 has focused on ensuring the station's structural integrity, including repairing worn concrete in the pedestrian bridges and reinforcing structural supports. These upgrades to keep the station viable for use in case of disruptions at Stockholm Central Station. [4] [7] [7]
This is a list of structural failures and collapses of buildings and other structures including bridges, dams, and radio masts/towers. This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness.
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).
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.
A fracture critical bridge is a bridge or similar span that is vulnerable to collapse of one or more spans as a result of the failure in tension of a single element. While a fracture critical design is not considered unsafe, it is subject to special inspection requirements that focus on the tension elements of its structure.
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 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.
