1 Bad Design
2 Unskilled labours on site
Barun Jha  |  Supported idea  "A combination of many factors"  |  2 years ago
Agree with Mr. Ghosh. The causes are more than one. Absence of soil investigation, poor design, Faulty execution, use of low quality materials, cost cutting made to make irrational profit, lack of experienced skilled workforce, etc. Construction...
Suraj Sinha  |  Supported idea  "Cost Cutting, Usage of non standard material, "Chalta Hai" attitude"  |  2 years ago
Failure due to Design is minimum or designed by so called non Structural Engineers .The other reasons could be the difference of intended use of structures as in some case terrace is used for gardening which was not told at time of design.Designs...

1 Using Earthquake Dampers
2 PROTECTING CIVIL CONST. FROM EARTHQUAKES
Atop Lego  |  Supported idea  "Compulsory Enforcement of Seismic Design Principles"  |  2 years ago
I agree with Jha that the dampers are good and can be very well used in the design of highrise buildings. The main risk in the low rise building which are constructed without proper guidance and design. Enforcement by lagislation and will power...
Barun Jha  |  Added idea  "Compulsory Enforcement of Seismic Design Principles"  |  2 years ago
Small residential construction id so much unorganized, hence it will be a hard nut to crack. But if we look for High rise structures such a adherence will not be an issue. Earthquake resistant design and use of dampers will do increase the cost...

1 Building defects
Venkatesh M  |  Added idea  "Building defects"  |  2 years ago
In my opinion, Concrete structures show warning signs of construction issues faster than steel structures. Bolted joints in steel structures will not show any immediate warning signs. Lack of maintenance over a prolonged period will bring any...

1 Engineers should consider ways to improve structural integrity and robustness
Anjali Sinha  |  Added idea  "Engineers should consider ways to improve structural integrity and robustness"  |  2 years ago
Researchers said engineers must not simply work to the minimum requirements of the building code; they need to consider ways to improve structural integrity and robustness to accommodate future local failures.

Why China And India Don't Get Along January 4, 2011: India-China ties are set to enter treacherous waters in the coming months. This is clear from current Chinese attitudes, wherein China favors Pakistan at the expense of India. For example, China is selling a one Giga watt nuclear reactor to Pakistan and is determined to ink a civilian nuclear energy cooperation agreement with the country which has for years indulged in nuclear proliferation. China has been demanding visa applications from Indians living in Jammu and Kashmir (wishing to travel to China) but not for Pakistanis in Pakistani Kashmir. This makes it clear on whose side China is. Against the backdrop of many serious differences, the visit by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (December 15-17) was expected to lower the temperature. It did not; instead it only exacerbated the Sino-Indian fault lines. Wen’s talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on December 16 failed to produce any dramatic results. The good thing...

Social entrepreneurship in India is making greater strides towards inclusiveness by involving every strata of society to tap into the momentum and growth of the country. However, in spite of several initiatives, social entrepreneurship eco-system in India is not coming together as well as it needs to.  Their focus and collaboration on solutions should be directed towards not merely one-off acts of charity, but adding up to a vast array of sustainable services across sectors and industries that help people at the base of the pyramid, which is not happening in the country now.  In the post-independent era, many enterprising men with social bent of mind had ventured into setting up educational institutions, which helped the country to move out of the chaotic state into a vibrant and democratic environment. But over the decades, these established institutions which laid the foundation for modern India, because of their sheer size, were forced to evolve into large business enterprises...
