ABSTRACT: Extreme loading events associated with climatic conditions can have a severe impact on building
structures leading to local damage that can trigger the instant failure or progressive collapse. In this paper, the
outcome of studies related to forensics of specific climatic-induced failures is summarized. Such events would
have in many cases been avoided if certain safety measures were applied. One of the most ...
