Calling the attention of all engineers, architects, contractors, and everyone involved in the construction industry!!!
Every time we hear news of buildings nga mucollapse after an earthquake, ano ba usually ang tanong ng taong bayan?
WHAT WENT WRONG?
Why are some structures unable to withstand the disasters?
Kulang ba sa lessons sa engineering school, o baka mas masyadong pinagtuonan ng pansin ang subject na cost cutting?
Hindi naman siguro kasalanan ng semento.
O baka may nahalong ibang sangkap sa proyekto? đź¤
Is it a matter of engineering limitations, poor implementation of building standards, substandard materials, lack of inspections, or something else entirely?
Or is this another reminder that corruption can be far more destructive than any natural calamity?
Buildings don’t collapse because of one mistake alone, there is usually a chain of decisions behind every failure.
The public deserves safe schools, offices, hospitals, and establishments. If structures are built according to standards, shouldn’t they be better equipped to protect lives when disasters strike?
Ang hirap intindihin bakit may ibang structures that easily fail while others remain standing. Sino ba ang dapat sisihin?
Earthquake is an act of nature.
Structural failures is an act of _______? ゚
