RE: Failures in Reinforced Concrete Structures (Types and Causes)

in #stemng6 years ago

Actually, earthquakes are usually responsible for these collapse at the epicenter. During earthquakes, the seismic waves sent by the vibrations below the ground surface, at the hypocentre, are recorded more at these points (epicentres) thereby disruption of ground level along with structures above the ground result leading to collapse of these structures along with loss of lives.

Thank you for stopping by.

Oh! You're right... I was a victim of collapsed building years ago, it started from cracks in the interior wall of the building.

Sorry to hear about this, but I am glad you survived. Well, now I am sure when you see any of the failures the article addressed, you know its time to take a step.

Lol... Of course. BTW, your post is dope!
