Natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, fires and cyclones; man-made disasters such as explosions - both accidental and deliberate - and faulty construction methods cause structures to collapse. High- and low-rise office complexes, apartment blocks, hospitals, houses, schools, bridges and monuments are amongst the vast type of structures that suffer damage and collapse during a disaster
