Every year a large number of buildings collapse around the world. It is important to investigate the reasons for collapse because a large number of people are killed or injured. In this thesis the Rana Plaza Building (the largest disaster occurred on 24 April 2013 at Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh) collapsed has been broadly discussed because it was one of the biggest non-terrorrelated structure failure where 1,135 people were killed and 2,515 were injured.
