what's wrong with the building? If the structural/building Engineer did their job properly, I don't see anything wrong in the building

Whenever you visit Kenya please try to live in that building or you can buy 10 * 10 and build such in your community so that you and your kinsmen can live in it. Read well 10*10. African Experts always showing themselves

Please is this real? Structural and civil engineers should quickly locate that building and assess its stability or otherwise.
Action should be taken immediately.


Pls don't mind the OP, he's just being mischievous. The house is perfectly in good shape and would last as long as other buildings lasts. Just look very closely, you will see that it is triangular in shape hence, has a balanced grip on the ground. Nothing is wrong with unconventional building shapes of foursquares.

[quote author=CanadaOrBust post=83375086]If u were an architectural engineer you’d know this could actually be a VERY solid building with very solid steel inner frame that can go many more stories higher

Come check where the buildings you posted are located and post it again. Kenya

It's structurally ok and safe. You can see it's actually triangular in shape looking from the top.


You have a working sense. I just pointed out to some people that the building is perfectly in good shape and conditions just that it's not the kind of regular foursqure buildings we see all over the place.

What is going to collapse it??
If the structure is best fit for the space available, what is gonna collapse it?
Re: 5 Story Building On 10 By 10 Land Spotted In Nairobi, Kenya Causes A Stir (Pix) by naijadrivablog: 9:16pm On Oct 22, 2019
So, that the building is narrow automatically means that it is structurally defective.?

Take a closer look, people. It's got a V shape. I've seen it before at ngwa road in Aba. House is structurally strong so far as it's built by an experienced engineer. This is small sef. Go abroad go see tricky stuff

If you and your your entire family/kinsmen are not blind,at least you should have seen that the building is actually triangular.. please I don't argue with blind people...I recommend school of the blind for you.

Who ever designed the building in Africa is a genius. From load distribution to stability. If it would have collapsed it would have been during construction. From the roofing one could see that some expanse was well utilized at the back.

That's 4 storey na

In U.K. it is 4-Storey but in America it is 5-story. I think the Americans have it right ( why disregard the ground floor) but I think their spelling confuses with story as in book.
We Nigerians are caught in between, confused because we have both UK and US Nigerians.

I don't see anything wrong with the building. Before commenting negatively, I will have to see the entire picture of the building and just from one angle. Looking keenly, you will notice the building is in a V shape and if this observation is correct then the structure is balance.
