space building
The analysis by the experts of the university points out that even in the final phase of construction, the probability of failure of the building was close to 100 percent, and explains in its technical concept that end "the main cause of the collapse of the building Space lies in the lack of structural capacity of the main columns of the building. " (See video and Different Cameras The Fall of building space) This lack of structural capacity, as outlined, is associated with deficiency in the "sizing and design of" The Principal Structural Elements of Construction, such as columns and beams. Columns on one of the data reveals is that in February last year a "structural failure" of a Stage Six was presented. And on 11 October last year, a day before the Six phase of which collapsed, another column failure Same stage. Among the failures of the Second loss column There was concrete and "Cracks bathroom diagonal" and "vertical displacements on the order of 9 cm" are evident
