(1) An underground garage was being dug on the south side, to a depth of 4.6 meters
(2) The excavated dirt was being piled up on the north side, to a height of 10 meters
(3) The building experienced uneven lateral pressure from south and north
(4) This resulted in a lateral pressure of 3,000 tonnes, which was greater than what the pilings could tolerate.
Thus the building toppled over in the southerly direction.

Just stand it back up, it will be good as new!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with this picture? Does't it seem kind of strange that this building "toppled" over and fell on it's side without braking anything? If this in fact happened, the whole building would have been a pile of rubble. In this photo not one window is broken.
ReplyDeleteYes 9:09 you are correct. Building would not have stayed in one piece. Duh
ReplyDeleteThis actually seems to be a real story. Google it there are more pictures to confirm it.
