Cyclonic Damage to Structural Steel Skeleton during Erection

Volume 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Cyclones create unpredictable wind effects due to their whirling action. Industrial structures in process of erection are particularly susceptible to failure during such unpredictable natural events. A case study of such a failure is presented. Measures taken to repair and reuse damaged building elements are also given. Precautionary measures to avoid such failures in the future are discussed.
