ABSTRACT: Structures are generally known to be a product of Engineering materials, characteristics and behavior with regards to the anticipated loadings and other environmental requirements. The engineering materials of structures includes steel, reinforced concrete, Timber, plastics, glass etc. The material strength are usually considered as the main criterial in determining specific functional application and also the design consideration. The effects of loads and forces on physical structures are determined by structural analysis, which is an important procedures in structural design and construction processes. Structures are loads bearing substances and arrangements of interactive and inter-related elements for that purpose should therefore ensure stability. This study examined structural mechanism, consequences, and remedies with concluding remarks for consideration.
Keywords: – Structural, Mechanism, Failures, Implications, Consequences, Remedies.
