Abstract Research purposes: Indonesia lies in the circum - pacific seismic belt with many seismic activities. Earthquakes and human errors always cause the human injuries and deaths, property losses and environmental worsening. Although earthquakes are unavoidable, but the human errors can be prevented. The study is done on the various disasters and tragedies in civil engineering that happened in Indonesia in the last decade and the detailed failure analysis of the engineering accidents is made to improve safety standards so that the structures can successfully with stand future disasters.
Research conclusions:From the studies and analyses, it is concluded ： (1) In a natural disaster that causes large fatalities, there is usually an interaction between the natural incident and human error. (2) Some designers have the wrong perception about the objectives of the code on resistant disaster to building. They think that the code is only available for the high - rise structure or large permanent infrastructures. (3) Human error can also trigger the serious disaster and cause many fatalities. (4) The research results can be used in forecasting, early warning and preventing for natural disasters.
