| Summary: | This research conducted an investigated concrete flat roof issues in a residential building in Seri Iskandar, Perak, and its impact on Aeon Mall Ipoh Station 18 occupants. It comprehensively analyzed the structural integrity, material quality, and construction practices of concrete flat roofs in both residential and commercial buildings. The aim was to identify issues and their effects on safety. The findings highlighted potential vulnerabilities in roof design and proposed safety improvements. The article focuses on problems associated with concrete flat roofs, popular for their affordability and practicality. Over time, problems like leaks and fractures emerge, requiring maintenance. The study examines common defects, causes, and improvements, and lack of professional organizations and contractors in Perak affects flat roof longevity. Regular maintenance is vital for waterproofing, as hardened membranes, rain-induced changes, and expansion lead to problems. Data was collected through surveys and secondary sources, using questionnaires distributed to residents and Aeon Mall Ipoh Station 18 occupants. The majority of respondents expressed satisfaction with their building's flat roof. This study emphasizes the significance of concrete flat roof issues and their resolution. |
