Abstract
:
The construction sector forms an important part of the national budget of all countries. The importance and seriousness of this sector increases in the developing countries where construction and development comprise a large part of the development and investment programs, and raising the standard of living of the people facing steady increase in population. In spite of large magnitude of spending on construction projects, the administrative system that surrounds the successive steps to transform project to reality is inadequate or not controlled or full of loopholes. This deficiency increases the possibility of errors and relaxation in applying specifications and quality control in the design and review phase, or its implementation and supervision or later in maintenance phase after completion and use of the project. All of the above may lead to cracks and collapse of some structures resulting in a lack of utilization of structures for the original purpose for which these were constructed resulting in wastage of time, money and effort without justification. This paper discusses the causes of cracks and collapse of buildings in some western and Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, supported by statistical data and presents precautions to reduce these causes.
