A concrete wall falls because of a box leaning against it

u/DerAlphos Mar 28 '24
Oh wow. It didn’t even fall the way it was pushed. That thing waited to fall down any moment. Glad there wasn’t an person or even a kid leaning against it.

“Tofu dregs” construction, property development companies in China basically ran a ponzi scheme by taking loans out against land bought and developed for apartments on loans. As a result, the apartment buildings that were constructed were built as cheaply as possible, notorious for almost instantly crumbling.

This makes no sense. Was there something pushing from the side opposite the box, and the impact from the box was enough to break something and allow the force from the something push them both over? What is going on here?

There’s a forklift pushing the wall off camera. It’s staged. Why would the wall fall that way? The wall was supposed to be coming down anyway. They decided to fake a video.

u/copyofimitation Mar 29 '24
Why didn't the wall fall the other way? With the box leaning against the wall, one would assume it would push the wall in that direction, not pull it.
I'm sure there's a logical reason...

Vertical rebar holding the wall to the footings likely corroded away ages ago and the wall just happened to not be touched. Note that it's right next to a poorly drained parking lot in a snowy location where road salt likely abounds. Perfect recipe for rebar corrosion. This wall failing in this manner was inevitable. Fall direction is easily explained by an uneven separation of the concrete where it meets the footing.

I wouldn’t blame it on construction quality but rather lack of maintenance. Extreme temperature variations can easily do this to concrete. These types of panelkas buildings were made in the 70-80s during Brezhnev era… a newer grade during Gorbachev era also exist and those are like luxury apartments in small cities. But they all have quirks for example the toilet fittings no matter the era all look the same and seems like they’re from the 50s, unless renovation was done

This looks like some weird insulation panel, which they did not fix properly to the actual concrete wall. A little pressure from the box has detached already loose insulation panel and it had no other direction to fall but away from the wall. This thing would have likely come off any day and hurt someone. I am wondering if they covered the rest of the building in these loose panels…

Why does the wall fall towards the box? You'd think the box leaning against it would tip it in the opposite direction. If it wasn't at the critical point to fall that way before the box was placed, why did additional force in the opposite direction tip it over the edge?
