A study to investigate the cause of failure of pedestrian bridge Pasir Gudang, Johor

Recently reported numbers of damage occurred to pedestrian footbridge in Malaysia. It had become significantly since there is affected loss in property and may also cause injury to people. On 12 October 2014, a pedestrian footbridge located at Perling – Pasir Gudang Highway was destructed by the win...
