Μάλλον λες για το ξενοδοχείο new world που έπεσε το 1986?
Σε κάποια αποτελέσματα έρευνας παλιότερης που είχα διαβάσει, έλεγε πως εκτός από το πρόβλημα στην μελέτη (χαμηλού επιπέδου μελέτη θυμάμαι έλεγε) έκανε και μεγάλη αναφορά για πολύ κακής ποιότητας κατασκευής από τους κατασκευαστές, οι οποίοι έκοβαν από όπου μπορούσαν για να περιορίσουν το κόστος. (τι μου θυμίζει, τι μου θυμίζει??)
Αυτό το ανέφερε καθόλου στο ντοκυμαντέρ?
Το έχει και το wikipedia!!!!
Hotel New World disaster
Βρήκα και αυτά
In 'March 1986, a six-storey building - the Lian Yak building - collapsed rapidly and totally to the ground and basement levels with the loss of 33 lives . Hotel New World occupied the top three storeys, and the entire building was completed in 1971 .
A report of the Inquiry (2) into the collapse presented to the President of the Republic of Singapore in 1987 concluded that the root and main cause of the collapse lay in the grossly inadequate design . Dead weights were underestimated, and a large number of individual structural members were grossly under-designed .
Compared with CP110, the factors of safety of some columns were below 1 .0, concrete strengths were generally well below normal requirements, and workmanship was of a low order . Signs of structural distress had been ignored . As a result, cracking developed and propagated, deformation in columns progressively transferred overloads to other columns, resulting in their progressive collapse .
The principal recommendations of the Inquiry relate to the need for competence of the designer, the selection of a competent and responsible contractor - not entirely on the basis of lowest cost - supervision of construction by qualified persons and, lastly, maintenance of a building after construction .
It is as well to be reminded of the need to continue to enforce the recommendations resulting from this Inquiry .
