  2. List of failed and overbudget custom software projects

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_failed_and_over...

    Because software, unlike a major civil engineering construction project, is often easy and cheap to change after it has been constructed, a piece of custom software that fails to deliver on its objectives may sometimes be modified over time in such a way that it later succeeds—and/or business processes or end-user mindsets may change to accommodate the software.

  3. Falsework - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsework

    Completed falsework: Decking and some formwork has been added. The illustrations are of modern pipe-column falsework, used to support the formwork for a post-tensioned reinforced concrete flyover connector for the eastern span replacement of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. When the supports are complete, wood beams and plywood or reusable ...

    Failure Reporting (FR). The failures and the faults related to a system, a piece of equipment, a piece of software or a process are formally reported through a standard form (Defect Report, Failure Report). Analysis (A). Perform analysis in order to identify the root cause of failure. Corrective Actions (CA).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_building_and...

    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.

  8. Shoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoring

    Shoring is designed to prevent collapse where shielding is only designed to protect workers when collapses occur. Concrete-structure and stone-building shoring, in these cases also referred to as falsework, provides temporary support until the concrete becomes hard and achieves the desired strength to support loads.

  9. Box girder bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_girder_bridge

    Fifty-one people were killed in these failures, leading in the UK to the formation of the Merrison Committee [4] and considerable investment in new research into steel box girder behaviour. Most of the bridges still under construction at this time were delayed for investigation of the basic design principle.
