Abstract
This article focuses on importance of visual inspection to observe conditions that can lead to structural and non-structural failures in civil construction. The subject article is based on structural failure reports information, condition assessment in generalized manner and practices which are being accepted in normal practices. Visual inspection procedures may help to identify the structural deficiencies in particular structural elements prior to becoming critical to challenge overall stability of integrated structure. Only generalized dangers can be revealed in visual inspections of the deterioration of structures. Experienced structural engineer is required for complete analysis of major structural defects.
