Re: Deck Collapse
Victor,
Interesting comments, based on the headline of no structural problems:
(underlining is mine)
"Georgetown County building inspector Robert Cox told The Sun News of Myrtle Beach on Wednesday that the report showed there were no structural problems with the house, built in the 1950s."
"Jeff Tanner a structural engineer with Stantec points out a weakness in the way the deck support beams were anchored to the framing."
"Georgetown County Building Inspector Robert Cox points to rusted bolts in the center of the deck support beam that broke causing the deck to collapse at 304 Atlantic Avenue in Pawleys Island. He suspects that the bolts may have weakened the beam and contributed its failing."
"Robert Cox, Georgetown County building inspector, pointed out that the deck had been nailed to the framing of the house instead of bolted through it."
Here is the headline "No structural problems in Pawleys Island porch collapse."
Am I missing something, or do the statements reflect a different headline should have been used?
