WASHINGTON: The country pioneered the concept of high-rise building (also called a skyscraper when New York City surpassed the first multi-story structure in the midwest) was having a moment of calculations after the fall of condo in Miami which aroused very often disasters in Mumbai.
Americans heard and witnessed horror stories from corruption, corruption, and violations of building codes in stories that are more similar to those in developing countries than in countries that boast law enforce themselves.
Disquet extends beyond the collapse of the coastal edge of 12 multilevel: six days after the disaster just a dozen the body has recovered from 159 countless victims believed to have debris.
The list that developed from the red flag is now revealed with the Champlain Towers South Building is a worrying resident of far beyond the north and east towers – which is built later – which remains standing.
Some are left apartments on questions about the structural integrity of the building amid fears that the flow of salt water in the nature of the sea is damaging the foundation.
According to local reports, the South Tower, was promoted and built in 1981 by a Canadian developer and two other American principals, all of whom have died, involves short cuts and rewards to navigate through the permit system.
The 12-unit tower, 136 units were on the verge of undergoing a renovation of $ 15 million to pass the 40-year-old re-certification needed by the local Miami Dade County, when it collapsed last Thursday.
In fact, building management has communicated with residents since April about ways to cover costs and negotiate with banks for loans to start repairs when the tower falls.
Now transpiration that inspectors and engineers have warned management in early 2018 about problems with structures arising from extensive spalling concrete in the parking garage.
The latest report is now talking about prolonged flooding from the basement with one to two feet of water that might contribute to damaging the structural integrity of the building.
William Espinosa, who said he oversaw maintenance in buildings around 1995 to 2000, told the Local Miami CBS TV station which would soak through the building foundation, especially during the ups and downs, and building management used two large pumps to force him out the way he considered Inadequate and unsatisfactory.
Although the concept of high-rise structures returned to the millennium history, Americans pioneered the idea of ​​a multi-bound office and residential unit.
The explosion of skyscrapers in America was said to have begun in Chicago in 1885 with the William Le Baron Jenney House Insurance Building, which rose to 10 floors (and 12th, after an additional 1890) before being followed by New York City, which in 1930 built the building The Empire of the 102-multilevel imperial in just one year, and who remained the tallest building in the world until 1970 when the World Trade Center was built.
Apart from the World Trade Center and Alfred Murray Federal Building in Oklahoma, which was dropped by terrorist attacks, there were very few structurally collapsing in the US, mainly due to strict code enforcement.
