Jeezuzpick:
Are you an engineer?

You're just speaking too much English.

If all what I said to you, as an engineer is "too much English" then I'm afraid maybe you should consider furthering your education in Engineering and maybe English language.

Jeezuzpick:
Yes.

I'm COREN certified.

It's possible to see the poorly reinforced structure from the video.

Are you not looking at the same pics and video I'm seeing?

See, I'm done arguing with you.

Carry your fellow experts to examine the soil.

You're just loud mouthed. What's empirical about looking at videos and determining cause of failure? Do you not know that the shear forces and bending moments acting on the beams as a result of the concrete collapse can distort the original structure of the beams and its associated components?

Please don't use this half baked approach to calculate loads on structural analysis and design. It's basic engineering to know that you can only determine sizing of load carrying beams and rods from only engineering SF and BM calculations, not merely looking at structure "inside your head".

And if you will humbly go to my original comment and read again, I clearly said it should be investigated to determine cause of failure, which could also include the point you've made, but by virtue of your "20 years experience" you have been cast in your old ways, which is a safety hazard in its self.

Have a great day.

Jeezuzpick:
I knew one prof will come here and type this.

You are talking to a structural engineer with over 20 years of experience.

I was waiting for one of you know-it-all geniuses to come and prove what you don't know.

Oya, go and look at the video again and tell me if the rebars in that collapsed structure look adequate.

In case you don't know, most, if not all, cases of building collapse in Nigeria result from people cutting corners. Even the soil you mentioned, people will not do a geotech investigation, or they will ignore it, or simply not follow the foundation design.

Don't people build on waterlogged areas and the buildings stand? As long as a building is designed and constructed properly, it will stand. If it's on weak soil, it is designed specially for that soil.

I hope you understand what I'm saying?

Are you even an engineer or builder?

Are you Coren certified? If yes, I'm surprised at this your statement. Do you understand root cause analysis and load bearing capacities?

20 years experience, but you can tell by looking at a video, the cause of a building collapse.No test, no investigation whatsoever.

With experts like you, perhaps we should scrap all engineering failure investigations.

Jeezuzpick:
Which soil?

Soil kwa?

Can you not see the collapsed structure?

You see iron inside?

Just a look at the concrete and sparse reinforcement bars, we can see that it's simply corruption and bad construction practices that brought down the lodge.

Id not that this is Nigeria, people ought to go to jail for this.

Please kindly educate yourself before arguing ignorantly.

Wow, that was a massive structure. They need to ascertain what caused this, especially to make sure it's not soil related so it doesn't affect other surrounding buildings

Gotocourt:
They should build their own power infrastructure. You can't reap where you didn't show👌🏿

The discos, did they build the existing infrastructure?

lexy2014:
what damage has his stubbornness caused?

how was he stubborn?

You have Google yea?

Long overdue. The damage his stubbornness has caused will take decades to fix

Ghana is a very safe and welcoming place to visitors from all over the world, it's sad when idiots like this go there to disgrace their lineage.

PlasmaTV:
Please sit this conversation out, sir.
You obviously are in dire need of help.

Poeple like this, shouldn't even be allowed to vote. They lack the capacity to decide the fate of the majority.

Why's she in a hurry to become adult? She should slow down, there's time for everything.

Now he too will beg for mercy and it won't be shown to him. His troubles just began. Such heartless human.

The Ukrainians are not smart, every unethical thing they do in warfare, Russia has even more capabilities to deliver even worse to them.

It's just a sad situation all round. You see poeple with long slips of papers, hoping to buy a Lamborghini, next thing you hear is "one cut", and the cycle repeats.

Hope it wasn't a Hostile takeover?

Not enough original content

Pure madness. We shouldn't be this greedy with our commonwealth

One of the major hindrances to owning an affordable car in Nigeria is our excessively high import duties. You can spend up to 50% of car price, clearing the car. It's absurd.

We shouldn't be supporting this. What's the use of people lining up to vote a governor of this can just happen without any legitimate rational?

Most crane accidents occur when neglecting the OEM's safe use limits. RIP to the dead.

But the same news was carried by Channels TV, with same claim of two students dying. What's really going on in this nation? You can't tell what's true and what's not, anymore.

Barely 3 years ago, a man's doctrine can change so much. It's unbelievable

Welldone. We commend their good works.

Good for him. He should exercise more as he doesn't look too physically fit.

Gaseous states won't maintain a level, like liquids. It will occupy all available space.

Wow, that must have been at top speed. :[ we need to be careful and may our wealth not buy our death. Smh

Wow this is shocking and unbelievable. It's a huge loss to the family and the entire footballing world.

This is really sad and the fact that we don't prioritize important things is even much more sadder.

Highly commendable. Let's keep developing our people and grow as a nation.

Great, development is what we all need as a nation.
