Abstract: In recent times we have noticed quite a lot of economic loss by countries due to poorly designed mega structures which collapsed before time, unable to fulfil the purpose they were built for. This research focuses on identifying and analysing failure of mega structures while also looking at the factors behind the failure. While sometimes the faulty structures in the past have not only cost money and human lives but have become a tourist attraction and wonder of the world like The Leaning Tower of Pisa. This paper is written to help the population and the authorities realise that it is not just the loss of human lives and assets due to the failure of mega structures but can also result in long term repercussions in long economic loss. The paper uses secondary research methodology looking into both failed and successful structure and their impact on the country’s economy. The paper talks about the reason for a country to develop its infrastructure and the reasons why a country focuses on building structures. A country develops its infrastructure for faster development and builds mega structures for tourism which helps them to increase their GDP and also builds up faith in other countries to help them build mega structures which helps them to gain reputation. The paper also talks about the consequences which a country has to face if a structure fails to succeed. In addition with consequences, the paper talks about the cause of the failure made by the engineer or the builders.
