  1. I belive they are looking at Thai nominees, betting is Thaskin will have his finger in the pie if that is true and made public think it might topple this goverment ??
  2. International standard is visual !! Following an earthquake, inspections of quake damage involve a two-phase process: a rapid assessment to identify safe and unsafe buildings, followed by a detailed inspection to determine the extent of damage and necessary repairs. Here's a more detailed breakdown of the inspections: 1. Rapid Assessment (Initial Phase): Purpose:To quickly identify buildings that are obviously safe (no damage) or obviously unsafe (high risk of collapse). Method: Teams of structural engineers or trained inspectors conduct a visual assessment of buildings, looking for major structural damage, potential hazards, and signs of instability. Outcomes:Buildings deemed safe are marked as such and may be re-occupied Buildings deemed unsafe are marked as such and may be closed off to prevent further casualties. Buildings with uncertain safety status are marked for detailed inspection. 2. Detailed Assessment (Second Phase): Purpose: To determine the extent of damage and the necessary repairs or interventions. Method: Structural Assessment: Engineers conduct a thorough inspection of the building's structure, including walls, floors, roofs, and foundations. Building Systems Assessment: Inspectors assess the condition of building systems such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. Damage Identification: Any damage, including cracks, structural issues, or compromised building systems, is identified and documented. Recommendations: Engineers provide recommendations for repairs, strengthening, or demolition, as need Outcomes:Buildings are assessed for their usability and safety. Recommendations are made for repairs, strengthening, or demolition. Appropriate postings (e.g., "SAFE," "LIMITED ENTRY," "UNSAFE") are placed on the building to inform the public.
  3. never ending story in bangkok post, about bangkok governor wants to buy seismographs for 9 million baht and put them in bangkok towers the best machine you can get is 40,000 baht a piece and puting them in towers is the worst place you can put them what happens to the rest of the money ?? do Thais not do due diligence, corruption and waste of money at its best
  4. Thailand has no idea !! the latest news is they want to buy seismographs budget 9 million baht and put them in tower buildings , you can buy the machine for 40,000 each the best placement is seismographs are ideally placed in quiet, remote areas on hard rock, far from noise sources like traffic and industry, and preferably in subsurface locations for temperature stability. is this not blatent courupption !!!! does nobody do research or due diligence when spending tax payers money Thailand should be ashamed letting people do this
