Heyaa Mate ❤, Here's the answer.
1. Collapse of Hotel New World
On March 15, 1986, the 6 story Hotel New World in Little India, Singapore collapsed due to a design error when the structural engineer forgot to add the building's dead load (the weight of the building itself) to his calculations when determining how strong he needed to make the support pillars that held up the building during its construction in 1971. 33 people were killed and 17 others were injured. The building was a steel-reinforced concrete design.
2. The Site and Sound Theater
On January 28, 1997, the Site and Sound Theater in Pennsylvania suffered a collapse from a fire which lasted approximately 3½ hours. The building was a rectangular shaped structure that was approximately 100 feet wide and approximately 74 feet tall. The fire was started by welding operations occurring at the theater. The collapse of the McCormick Place exhibition hall, it was not a total building collapse - it was only a roof collapse. The building did not have a sprinkler system.
Construction on the stage floor damaged the sprayed-on fire-resistant coating of steel structural members.
The building was under construction and fire doors were not yet installed, allowing the fires to pass through these openings freely .
3. The Mumbai High North Platform
On July 27, 2005, the Mumbai High North Platform in India’s Arabian Sea completely collapsed due to a severe fire. A multi-purpose support vessel collided with the offshore platform, causing a major fire which caused the platform to collapse after two hours of burning.
4. University of Aberdeen Zoology
On November 1, 1966, the 7 story University of Aberdeen Zoology Department building in Aberdeen, Scotland suffered a total collapse while under construction. The collapse was attributed to poor girder welds that were weakened by metal fatigue. The metal fatigue was induced by oscillating lateral forces on the structure (primarily wind). 5 people were killed and 3 others were injured.
Hope it helps.
