A Survey on Building Safety After Completing The ConstructionudProcess in Malaysia Using Statistical Approach

摘要

Building condition is an important issue in all over the world to enhance safety, health and sustainability of builtudenvironment. The objective of this study is to determine the most frequent causes of building failures in order to avoid the buildingudfrom collapses, cracks and so on. The collection of data has been done among the engineers, workers and public. The questionnaireudwas distributed among engineers, contractors and public with 100 respondents. This survey focuses on two main parts of the safetyudwhich are building design and building management. The building designs are divided into four main criteria which are buildingudstructure, service design, building fitting and hazard environment. Meanwhile, the item of building management is focused on theudmanagement criteria. Results are analysed using statistical approach. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to evaluate theudefficiency of the models’ fitness and goodness. The survey shows that all criteria are importantly needed in maintaining the safety ofudbuilding after completing the contraction process.
