Abstract In order to encourage construction practitioners to acknowledge failures and disseminate the information, the failure information must be documented and accumulated with a well-structured format, which contains not only the fact and result but also the circumstance and cause of the failure. In the Korean construction industry, many failures are not explained clearly and often not even reported publicly, partly because due to the lack of understanding positive aspects of failures, which can improve construction practices as a result of learning from failures. The purpose of this study is to develop a web-based construction failure information system using the case-based reasoning techniques, which can systematically accumulate, manage, and share the valuable failure information using a structured failure cases database. It can be utilized for planning proactive solutions on future failures by searching the very similar past failure cases.
