2-Storey Building Collapses In Enugu, Construction Workers Escape Death (Photos) by Specialspesh: 3:44pm On Mar 23, 2017 |
A two-storey building under construction at Nkpokiti Estate, Independence Layout, Enugu collapsed this morning. Although, there were no casualties but some of the workers who arrived at the site earlier sustained serious injuries. The Enugu state commissioner for Capital Territory Development, Hon. Chidi Aroh, in a chat with journalists, said that his ministry would take full responsibility for the unfortunate incident. He, however, said that no approval was given for construction work at the site.

Beautifully lady with no bone! How else will I describe a building with such expensive roofing materials with poor structural materials. The owner should thank God that no life was lost, it would have been difficult to convince the people that it was not for a ritualistic purpose. 21 Likes |

.Nigerians with substandard materials corruption left, right and centre House wives are not left out, some greedy and dishonest ones inflate prices of their transaction to rub their husbands building inspectors will rather have a kick back to make approval with out visiting the site . Govt officials will not award a contract without a certain percentage in their pocket . 11 Likes |

ThankGod nobody was hurt. Causes of Building collapse – Poor service delivery by supervising Engineer or contractors – Sub-Standard Building Materials – Illegal Conversion/Alterations/Additions to Existing Structures – Structural Defects – Inadequate inspection and monitoring units. – Use of Inexperience Engineers – Non-Compliance with Specifications/Standards by Developers/Contractors – Natural factors i.e. earthquake, tsunami, flood – Faulty Construction Methodology – Dilapidating Structure – Defective Reinforcements Design The building shown by OP may have collapsed due to poor structural design and execution, this is because of the point of defect. There seems to be a long span beam which isn't properly supported whilst carrying additional slab load . That section of the building was not properly reinforced thus it collapsed. The state of ground floor shows that the foundation was properly reinforced. In conclusion, people should involve professionals when embarking on a building project, it will save you money, time and stress in the future. Engr.
