Global Review: Exploring Why Buildings Collapse Webinar - Recorded 04/07/2023

The collapse of high-rise buildings causes significant devastation, which has been demonstrated through a number of global tragedies from recently in Turkey and Syria to the Champlain Towers in Miami.

It’s essential to critically investigate the building pathology and how the societal demands, regulations and climate change can impact on the structure of the building.

This webinar will present published reports from Cross UK on global case studies to explore with their findings and the lessons learned.

• What are the key causes of why buildings collapse?
• What can we learn from reporting on worldwide case studies?
• What can we do to prevent the future collapse of buildings and ensure building safety?
