The aim of the project is innovation of a course named Structural Analysis lectured at the Department of Mechanics by incorporating a brand new lecture about the causes of failures of constructions. The governing idea of the introduced lecture is focused on practical investigation of the causes of failure. For this purpose a large amount of data were gathered, containing the photo documentation, construction description, failure description and remedial measures proposals. Majority of the examples of damaged constructions comes from the doctoral stage of co-author from Brazilian state Tocantins.
