Unfortunately, critical issues arisen only historic, but also cases exhibiting inadequate behavior, partly attributable intrinsic vulnerability against actions. Such problems following aspects: lack attention construction details realization construction, use poor-quality materials, above design tools walls. 2018, regarding formulation spectra recently introduced Italy.
