Abstract: Building collapses significantly impact infrastructure, economies, and human lives. This study explores the causes and consequences of these collapses, including subpar building techniques, inadequate maintenance, inferior materials, natural calamities, and regulatory shortcomings. The disastrous consequences include loss of life, property destruction, and interference with urban planning. Sustainable action is crucial to prevent future building disasters, involving tighter quality controls, better engineering methods, and the use of cutting-edge materials. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, structural health monitoring systems, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) can also help protect structural integrity.
