priority in our line of duty. It is partially for this reason that design standards, codes and specifications have been established. These design standards serve as guidelines or insurance so to speak for an engineer to meet his or her legal obligations. However, at the end of the day it is the engineer’s responsibility for bearing any consequences, not the design codes used. Over the centuries, the need arose to have codes addressing ethics since there have been countless instances of an action considered

problem and a constraint for major companies that see sustainability as inefficient before to their projects as they were focused on the amount of cost, quality and time needed for the construction of sustainable buildings. A focus on sustainable construction came about in 1995 for the World Building Congress in Sweden to create collaborations between nations to start a sustainable construction in the future. These include a sustainable construction framework for sustainable development in the construction

collapse of Rana Plaza in Bangladesh, in what is to date the worst structural engineering failure. The failure caused significant losses of lives, (1129 lives), over 2500 non-fatal injuries and five garment industries lost their machinery, and the building was entirely destroyed as well. The report also demonstrates that the collapse of Rana Plaza was due to primary causes of engineering failures. These include; human factors like negligence and poor review of safety protocol, design flaws, for example

sources. The building code takes frost depth into account of the calculation because of frost heaving that can damage buildings by moving the foundation. it is significant that the footings of buildings must be installed in the ground below the frost depth. If the underground portions of the supporting structure are above the frost depth, the pressure applied on the footing will be upward. This could push the footing out of the ground or even responsible for major structural damage in buildings. So, always

contrasts the advantages and disadvantages of a variety of methods and technologies for constructing basements. A basement, for the basis of this report, is part of a building partly or wholly extends below ground level. It is essential basements are well planned, designed and constructed to ensure that for the life of the building it functions effectively and efficiently. A common concern of basement construction is the effects of groundwater. These issues are considered and the areas where

132-01SW-116 Building Construction Module Three Writing Assignment Worchester Cold Storage Fire In this writing assignment, I will be discussing The Worchester Cold Storage Fire and the aftermath of the building itself after the fire was brought under control. The Cold Storage Fire also was known for the incident that claimed the lives of 6 Worchester Firefighters also. The are multiple topics I will be discussing and they are the incident, response, losses and the effects of the building construction
