There is a high record of
collapsed buildings. The one that happened in Lagos, while still fresh in the
memory, another one occurred in Benin City on Friday, 19th 2014
barely days after the Lagos incidence. Many were feared dead in both disasters.
CAUSES
1.
Poor foundation: foundation not strong enough to
carry the heavy load of the storey building.
2.
Absence of soil test: before preparing the
foundation careful and extensive soil test ought to be carried out to determine
the soil type. Different soil has different load bearing capacity.
3.
If the building site was formerly used as waste
dump, it could lead to structural breakdown by the time it decomposes.
4.
If there was a wood stump beneath, it could
crack the building
5.
Using weak blocks.
Some greedy contractors tend to use substandard materials for the project.
6.
Lack of properly reinforced beam and
pillars/columns
