Entire New 13-Story Building Tips Over in Shanghai

[_Cathy_]

Made in China kasi

This past Saturday, an entire apartment building in Shanghai collapsed. To be fair, the building was under construction and thus unoccupied, but it's still a minor miracle that there was only one fatality.

Sounds like there was a problem with some nearby flood prevention walls at the Dianpu River, but there's no hard evidence as to why this huge building simply fell over. Anyway, here are some sweet pictures of the architectural carnage.

Cdr king condo.

Parang ang babaw ng foundation para sa 13 storey building.

What foundation? Looks like the entire building was just bolted to the foundation with a few tubes, instead of the supporting structure being tied into it with reinforcement bar...

you have to give credit for the integrity of the rest of the building though, it's still mostly intact.

Usually lulubog pag mahina soil pero ito nag flip. But in fairness tumatayo pa ung building sa likod.

Ung mga pipes na nakakabit sa foundation ng building ay micropile foundation, ginagamit yan kung malambot ang lupa. Sa picture kita naman na hindi maganda ang connection ng micropile dun sa building, naputol.

Ang problem ng isang building ay magiging problem na din ng iba kaya unsafe na din ung the rest of buildings.

akala ko nga mat foundation ginamit at first glance. Goodluck na lang sa ibang building pag dumaan dyan yolanda.

To be fair, that building was like thirty or forty years old... built on sinking Manila ground.

Pinatong lang yata yan eh. Wala ako nakikitang base. Dapat pile foundation na yan. Parang lego house lang.

Nope, iba yan. If you do a search you can find a video of that building in manila that collapsed. It started to tilt dangerously before it collapsed so people were evacuated.

Link please, sayang yung mga ibang buildings sa Manila, hindi na na maintain.

Curious din ako dun sa bahay sa gilid ng Lucky China Town Mall. From parking exit, right after the U turn, yung likod niya river. It must have been really nice when it was newly built. Ngayon mukha ng haunted house.

Ruby Tower was located on T. Alonzo St., it collapsed during the earthquake of 1968. The building that tilted before collapsing was located on Juan Luna St., near Padre Rada St..
