This is an interesting link. Thanks Diana, if you are still with us.
If there is such a thing as too much modern architecture, this link may be that too. A week or so ago, I found a really nice building there, but cannot find it again.
If you are curious about how the Surfside Condo failed, this is a short and clear explanation:-
It's a reminder of how all the bits of a structure have to do their job: the failure of one part puts un-designed-for stress on other parts, leading to progressive collapse.
Thanks for that, I was wondering when the info showing what happened would be available. I have to deal with these types of stresses in some of our structures, but on a much smaller scale. Every time a salesman wants to throw a 20' container on top of a 40' container I have to reinforce at the casters all the way down to the foundation piers, which can really bloat the cost of the project.
