Do you suppose the earthquake is fortune as Turkish directors say? No and I do not buy the usual bobby – eschewal that this disaster in Turkey was caused by corruption and by politicians. Let’s get real, those are symptoms not causes.
The cause is most probably the fact that people in those areas in south Turkey are poorer, so original construction companies couldn’t pass the real costs of structure according to ultramodern engineering norms to home buyers in a poor region. So what differently could they do? They had to cut costs aggressively so they could make homes more affordable.
This was done by reducing the volume of cement in concrete composites and of essence mounts. The concrete mixes used too little cement or of lower quality, further beach and construction total, making the pillars and the bottoms too brittle. The result was that the pillars atrophied like biscuits and the bottoms collapsed on top of each other like flapjacks.
You ca not indeed see the pillars from the cargo- bearing structure. They turned into debris snappily, leaving only the bottoms that squeezed everything in between.
This was done to be suitable to keep construction costs low and be suitable to vend to poorer people in the region. Of course you could only do that if you converted authorities to give construction safety absolutions and denigrations from norms. And what could push you to do that? Your business depended on that.
Another, different kind of collapse
The cargo- bearing structure then didn’t fully fail, but it was disassociated from the ground and the structure fully stumbled sideways. How could such a solid cargo- bearing structure simply fracture like that? We can still see some of the corroborated concrete pillars and bottoms. Lower grade concrete that didn’t use enough cement in the concrete blend that was poured in the foundation and the lower bottoms could do that.
What could the authorities say? “ We all knew that, but we ’ve each been cohorts in this scheme because you could not go your own home if we did not ”. Who wants to hear that. nothing, so what they ’ll say is commodity that will try to pacify people by throwing the blame on commodity willful and obscure like fate.
