Abstrait: This chapter presents a case study of a multistorey reinforced concrete building, the Silverton Building, constructed in Canberra (Australia) in 1983, evacuated in 1989 due to concerns regarding its structural integrity, and demolished in 1994. The events, associated with the evacuation of the building, initiated court proceedings that ran between 1989 and 1997. In the description presented in this chapter of the structural issues affecting the integrity of the building, particular attention has been placed to avoid allocating blame to specific parties involved in the project and to utilise this case study as an opportunity to revisit the risks and responsibilities of engineers associated with structural engineering design and assessment. Personal remarks of the authors are also provided and clearly highlighted.
