Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 hello members, today one building collapsed in mumbai. in borivalli. 7 floored " " Laxmi chaya Tower " " it was just 20 yrs old. i being a civil engineer can say that it was definately engineering defect. and the contractor's black profit he made by using low quality material and the Engineer who designed the building. He too ....... dont know how many died, i wish their soul rest in peace. This is a very very very shocking news to hear that engineers and contactors for their profit compromises with the material and lives of the people. Are the people buying their DEATH from the builders ???????? I apologize as this is not astrological post. Regards, Tarun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Dear Tarunji, Yes, I got the news since I stay here in Bombay. These people never care for the tenants living in their buildings. Their concern is only how to pockets the tenants money. This is a bad bad world. But on the other side, when all other factors are clear, and yet the building collapses, do you to think at times it may also be due to the tenants, who wanting to look different then their neighbours, when they buy a new flat, do a lot of re-building, breakingwalls, expanding, taking the balconies also in the living rooms by removing the walls,at times touching the beams too,without consulting a structural Engineer, conseqently contributing to the weakening of the foundation of the building. Is this possible too ? regards, Bhaskar. , " Tarun " <tarun.virgo wrote: > > hello members, > > today one building collapsed in mumbai. in borivalli. > > 7 floored " " Laxmi chaya Tower " " it was just 20 yrs old. > > i being a civil engineer can say that it was definately engineering > defect. and the contractor's black profit he made by using low > quality material and the Engineer who designed the building.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Dear Bhaskar ji, As far as i studied this subject. The expansions and balconies effect on the building if the building are designed in a way that in any case the " Factor of Safety " is taken higher side i.e. upto 3-4 times more. and if walls are broken than the slab can develop cracks. Mostly the buildings are in framed strcutures so all such things are taken care of. But foundation if strong then no building can collapse.and so heaviest foundation are taken Regards, Tarun , " Bhaskar " <bhaskar_jyotish wrote: > > Dear Tarunji, > > Yes, I got the news since I stay here in Bombay. > These people never care for the tenants living in > their buildings.
