Features: This book collects 96 major construction quality accidents that have occurred nationwide since 1987. It is divided into nine parts based on the structural components affected and the nature of the damage: foundation and substructure, columns, beams, and slabs, masonry structures, roof trusses, cantilever structures, structures, formwork engineering, brick arch structures, and others. Each accident is analyzed from technical and management perspectives, examining the causes of the accidents to summarize the patterns of occurrence. The analysis of these engineering quality accidents can serve as a warning for engineering design, construction, teaching, research, and engineering management personnel, helping them improve their management and technical capabilities in preventing construction quality accidents and collapses. This book has strong practical value in guiding engineering practice.
