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. Before the analysis of the Rana Plaza some of the recent building failures around the world have been analyzed. These include Ronan Point collapse, Hyatt Regency walkway collapse, World Trade Centre collapse and Sampoong department store collapse. In this thesis the causes of these four major failures have been identified and discussed. We have analyzed the Rana Plaza by Etabs using as-built condition and from the analysis we have shown that the structure was already in vulnerable position and the generator just triggered the failure.
