Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2015, Vol 176, Issue 2

Abstract

The article presents the characteristics of collapses of three building structures which occurred as a result of defects in workmanship, including the Hyatt Regency Hotel building in Kansas City, a building in Shanghai and the roof over a part of the grand-stand at the stadium of FC Twente in Enschede. These events had a global impact. The paper describes also the construction of and the repair of damage to the elevated rein-forced concrete tank for storing liquids.
