Chinese Building

[David C]

I was searching for some photos an architect sent me a few years ago with some very noticable code violations. I thought others would enjoy seeing them. I can't the photos but I found others that he sent.

If there is any interest I can post more.

The Chinese are bit confused in their version of Tilt Up construction methods.

First 2 pictures. Very brave guy, I would not get into any of the other two buildings

well, despite falling over, the building is still, as a whole, together. that's a win in my book

if i remember right, this toppled over as the idiots decided to build a underground parking structure on the one side (something like 30ft deep) and they piled all that dirt on the other side of the building. some heavy rains and boom.

here is the LINK I found on it they are probably all built this way, way to fast with no over site. Thank god they were ghost cities, if not more would have died. According to the article only on person worker died.

60 minutes had a episode on Chinese buyers driving 19000 miles in a month up and the the US buying all the scrap metal they can get, and competing with other Chinese buyers. A scrap dealer in North Carolina said all he does is export it all to China. What they love to by is red brass. Maybe they should have used some of the steel the got on rebar
