From what I understand, the current foundation was designed for a much lighter building. Somewhere in the process, the more expensive higher-tech materials they originally intended on using were scrapped in favor of using less expensive and much heavier materials. The design they went with should have necessitated going down to bedrock, and that would have been end of story.

@mortyrosenstein4211
@mortyrosenstein4211 7 месяцев назад
Let’s be real. We all know how this ends. No one is going to take responsibility and do the right thing here because it’s too expensive and possibly too late. The only solution is somehow redoing the foundation and driving pilings to bedrock. Considering there is now a building on the foundation, the cost would be very high. So instead, no one is going to do anything as everyone blames each other. There is 2 possible outcomes here. The building collapses and everyone rushes to avoid blame and make the claim that it was impossible to see this coming. The building tilts so much that living in it becomes impossible no matter what they attempt. And then once it’s condemned, no one takes responsibility for cleaning it up, and it eventually falls over. Either way, the outcome will be the same. That building is gonna collapse someday and every singly person involved will claim how shocked and surprised they are, and that it’s not their fault.

@videomaniac108 6 месяцев назад
I think that the dishing and cracking are likely consequences of the asymmetric load placed on the foundation slab with its 18 rigid columns attached to the two sides and anchored to bedrock. Torsional stresses acting upward on the points of attachment of the pillars to the slab would cause flexing of the slab upward and tensile stress on the bottom side of the slab, possibly overcoming the prestressed compressive stress in the slab. This might then cause the concrete to crack and the slab to further deform. A symmetrical arrangement of pillars to bedrock might not have reversed the tilt but might have arrested the further progress of the tilting. Trying to reverse the tilt of such a tall and heavy building would require such a large moment of force(torque) acting across the base of the slab that the structural integrity of the slab might not be able to support it. Being concrete, the slab can bear enormous loads in compression, but not tension.

@@emafrancisco1808 not likely; there are 419 residential units, but 53 of those units in the smaller tower... so lets say 2 people per, but most are empty. so thats 732 people total. What happens it it falls? It will impact a mostly vacant Sales force auxiliary building that is 24 stores tall. Lets say its a big week and people are in their offices on an RTO office day (most people come into the office once or twice a week max in SF)... so say 1000 people may be in the building tops, perhaps 50% fatality rate to be generous. You are looking at 1200 is people tops, far below the 2,977 victims

During an earthquake, sandy soil shakes harder than other types, as does fill. Much of SF's land near the bay is filled-in marshland. During the 1971 Sylmar earthquake, the Veterans Admin. hospital came down because much of Sylmar is located on an alluvial fan - an area where sand has washed out of the nearby mountains for thousands of years. It's crazy that they didn't at least drill the support pilings down into bedrock for that building. It's a prime example of the importance of doing something right the first time, not trying to fix it later.

@Crismodin
@Crismodin 7 месяцев назад
​@@emptiester Well, I can assure you the owners of the building don't want to hire anyone to do that. They'd rather play games for the next 1-40 years until the building is condemned and then I imagine it will sit vacant until a new owner can be found if ever and then to answer this question - no one will do that hiring because in this country we don't believe in safety. We believe in money. Best case scenario, the city takes the building via legal route and then pays for the deconstruction of the entire building. The alternative is that someone, eventually the city, will foot the bill for massive repairs that will not be sustainable and we'll probably just end up at the exact same conclusion except with a much larger price tag to boot. Good luck trying to get the public to understand these concepts, they only care about the now, they don't care who has to deal with it in the future just as long as it's not them but don't worry - they'll be complaining the entire time no matter what.
