IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF MECHANICAL SERVICES TO BUILDING INSTABILITY

Building industry is a core aspect in any nation’s economy growth. Buildings tend to fail depending on several factors and level of stockholders’ involvement. This study examined whether or not mechanical elements have association with the prevalent of building collapse in the study area. Questionna...
