View attachment 451789YES, IT'S A 12- STORY BUILDING IN CHINA LYING ON THE GROUND.
(1) An underground garage was being dug on the south side, to a
depth of 4.6 meters.
(2) The excavated dirt was being piled up on the north side, to a
height of 10 meters.
(3) The building experienced uneven lateral pressure from south and
north.
(4) This resulted in a lateral pressure of 3,000 tonnes, which was
greater than what the pilings could tolerate. Thus the building
toppled over in the 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
