Re: Rotten Foundations Cause Building Collapse in Shanghai
Man, it takes one heck of a reinforced building to topple over in one piece!
Looking at the ground where it was setting, I'm guessing insufficient embedment of the pilings and instability of the soil - where the building WAS setting, the soil is sloping like the side of a hill.
Almost like the soil washed out along the back of the building and the building had no choice but to topple over backward as the rear of the building sank into nothingness (where the soil was).
