Apartment Made in China

Anyone who bought an apartment here sure has a problem.
Talk about a collapsed market!


YES, IT'S An ENTIRE 13-STORY BUILDING IN
CHINA LYING ON THE GROUND.

(1) An underground garage was being dug on the south
side of the building, to a depth of 4.6 meters (15 ft).

(2) The excavated dirt was being piled up on the north
side of the building, to a height of 10 meters (32 ft).

(3) They dug right up to the base of the building.
Then the rains came.

(4) The building experienced uneven lateral pressure
from north to south.


(5) This resulted in a lateral pressure of 3,000 tonnes,
which was greater than what the un-reinforced pilings
could tolerate. Thus, the building toppled completely
over in a southerly direction.

*First, the apartment building was constructed.*


Then the plan called for an underground garage to be dug out.
The excavated soil was piled up on the other side of the building.


*Heavy rains resulted in water seeping into the ground.*


The building began to tilt. Then it began to shift, and the
"hollow" concrete pilings were snapped due to the uneven
lateral pressures
.


And thus was born the eighth wonder of the world.

If these buildings were closer together,
it would have resulted in a domino effect.


Notice that there's NO rebar in the pilings!
Just some wire mesh.


They built 13 stories on grade, with no basement,
and tied it all down to
hollow pilings with no rebar.

Don't you feel better now that these are the folks that
manufacture nearly EVERYTHING we buy and use today?

Droooooolllll!!!

Check out minit 1:08!


FYI, gadis ini ialah Hyuna dr Korean dance-pop girl group 4 minute. Die penah join another group yg famous, Wonder Girls before quitting and then joined 4 minute.

Dlm video nih beliau dikritik hebat kerana memakai bra berwarna hitam yg jelas kelihatan dan jgk mengenakan skirt yg terlalu pendek smp nmpk safety pants (wtf! safety jadah ape mcm underwear dah pada aku) despite umur die yg baru 18 thn pd ketika itu. Tp ade jgk fan die yg backing die mengatakan nih semua salah fashion consultant die lah, die still professional dan terus membuat persembahan walaupun obvious die tak selesa.

Anyway, lps tuh die terus tukar pakai black tight pants supaya tak nmpk seksi sgt.


Whatever. Keep up the good work Hyuna. The shorter ur skirt is, the better.
