substandard materials, inadequate designs, and environmental influences, the research identifies key
contributors to structural failures in the district. It also highlights preventive strategies like the
enforcement of construction regulations, proper material usage, and regular maintenance. The
findings aim to provide valuable insights for stakeholders, policymakers, and professionals in the
