Recently there has been an increase in buildings collapsing due to poor craftsmanship and natural calamities. With rapid development in urban areas, many buildings are being built at alarming levels which can create recipes for disasters incase this building come down. However, there are some remedies to this kind of problems. One of the solutions is to use flexible steel together with a light sandwich panel.

There should be mechanisms that can warn people in case a disaster is waiting to happen. Most countries that are prone to earthquakes have buildings that are steel structured in order to resist this kind of natural disaster. Most buildings are made with PEB system that replaces concrete columns with steel beams. The same is done for the beams. The design is cost effective due to less use of cement. In addition, it is also very strong and usually needs little or no maintenance.
