Practices to Reduce Common Failures
Common failures that occurred in the past continue to replicate themselves even though the analysis, design and construction phases have become more sophisticated and specialized. The mundane issues that designers and constructors may consider unimportant or uninteresting due to their low cost, visibility or low technical level can become huge factors in a constructed facility's performance and a tremendous drain on the nation's economy. This paper discusses ten common types of failures with examples and provides general recommendations to prevent or reduce these types of failures. The failures discussed herein vary from analysis and design consideration to construction practices and techniques.
