What has this got to with this topic

The guy who made the speech was probably right Bangkok is not in a earthquake zone There is a major fault called the Sagaing fault, which cuts right through Myanmar north to south and is more than 1,200km (746 miles) long. Early data suggests that the movement that caused Friday's 7.7-magnitude earthquake was a "strike-slip" - where two blocks move horizontally along each other. This aligns with the movement typical of the Sagaing fault. As the plates move past each other, they can become stuck, building friction until it is suddenly released and the earth shifts, causing an earthquake. How earthquakes are felt at the surface is also determined by the type of soil. In soft soil - which is what Bangkok is built on - seismic waves (the vibrations of the earth) slow down and build up, getting bigger in size. So, Bangkok's geology would have made the ground shaking more intense. What hit Bangkok was seismic waves from 1500klm away

Well maybe AN can help becuse there is lots of biomass on here every day!!

Just pure corruption !! is there No due diligence carried out on the tax payers money ?? any body check purchase orders ?? people who are responsible such be prosecuted

What a farce was this, by the EC, the whole lot should be sacked and a new senate elected BY THE PEOPLE

sustainable aviation fuel can be produced from almost any type of biomass through chemical, thermochemical, and biochemical conversion pathways, its not new science

Aviation biofuel: technically feasible, economic competitiveness is a challenge its cost is 11% higher than normal fuel

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 ??

exactly !!

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.

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

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

At least this guy stopped, normally thais run away !!

thats what forums are for opinions, only time will tell

Stupid is as stupid does !!

America is heading for a depression like in 1929

think you need a vacation from life !! you should be ashmed of yourself just stupid comments

This planet has a molten core which is cooling, of course its moving, hundreds of quake every day throught the world, its be big one's we should be worried about but also not be stupid and try to build a tower on swampland and use the chinese to build it

Totally agree waste of money

Agree, due to the huge embarrassment these guys have caused to china i think they wont be going back home sometime soon, there will be a bullet waiting

Whats the betting Thaskin has his finger in this !!

Quote, Pita couldn't become PM because the senate blocked him by refusing to vote for him. you need to learn english, that is totally incorrect statement

Forums are for people to share they opinion as well as facts whether you like it or not no justification required

WOW !! Total over kill

correct the design was not recommened for quake proof nor alluvial soil all though this was only a contributing factor, material was substandard which is a major factor in the collapse
