Seismic Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Cannot tell too much from the picture, but it kinda looks like too much rebar and not enough Cement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reigntax Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Not that fake imported bamboo scaffolding again. An all too often event in gagaland where engineering skills and application of them is either ignored or just unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reigntax Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Cannot tell too much from the picture, but it kinda looks like too much rebar and not enough Cement. Yes and its hard to pour and finish concrete at those inclines and curves especially when it keeps falling through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luudee Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 They love doing things "The Thai Way" and always look down on us when we try to tell them it will not work .... Mai pen rai, mai me pen-ha !!! luudee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisakiman Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Cannot tell too much from the picture, but it kinda looks like too much rebar and not enough Cement. Yes, it does rather look that way. And I always thought that one of the biggest problems with building in Thailand was skimping on the rebar, thus making the building structurally weak.

elgordo38 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Don't worry this contractor better do a runner. Isuzu no doubt has a battery of legal eagles ready to pounce that work on a recovery fee. The poor contractor could not have picked a client with more stature here. He will be the flavor of the month if they catch him the government will make sure of that. Edited July 27, 2016 by elgordo38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thais like to repeat the mistakes of others instead of learning from them. Remember the Sydney Opera House? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Cannot tell too much from the picture, but it kinda looks like too much rebar and not enough Cement. Too much rebar and not enough brain cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiChai Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Alot of 'issues' in Thailand can be attributed to the low standard of education. Better than Thai bashing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaorop Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Looks like they were trying to copy the "birds nest" stadium in china. about the "13 injured" seems extremely lucky looking at it , hmmm going to ask how many more "didnt return from lunch"? no matter would only be migrant workers Edited July 27, 2016 by kaorop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClutchClark Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 That is a significant amount of rebar. Wish we had a before collapse picture so we could have an idea why they chose this method. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dopenhagen Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 the "funny" thing is that this could have happened everywhere in the world, but only in Thailand you have such a prevalent combination of arrogance and stupidity which makes things like this so predictable...

harada Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 But on the bright side, you could probably build a couple of Isuzu pickups out of the scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farcanell Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 On seeing the picture, my first thought was that there wasn't enough under form work support. Then a friend showed me some photos from his phone of said under form bracing, and I had to laugh... His pictures showed an alarming lack of cross bracing and support... On steel form work, not bamboo... So no surprises here (the highest risk is when the concrete is wet) that the lower form collapsed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
