An engineer's analysis of the evidence in the collapse of the Miami condo: Summary seems it is... architects got it wrong... certainly in that they failed to properly slope structures to shed water... and from the photos, it looks like the primary support columns were either inadequately designed for the loads on them, or else they were not properly constructed to match the engineering requirements... Water damage had occurred... was identified as an "exponentially growing" risk... as a part of a "re-certification" process to extend the buildings life... but that was found three years prior to the collapse, and nothing had been done about it... Problems had been identified... plans were being developed... preliminaries addressed... but nothing was done to timely correct the known issues... at least it was not happening quickly enough to stop the collapse... or get the people out of harm's way before it happened... It "should" result in a review of large building construction state wide... to check that supports are adequate to the loads carried... that slopes shed water... that risks identified are being elevated for urgent action when they are identified... Certainly should mean reviews of designs by that architect... and work done by those builders... but also of the functional failings of the local officials, who failed to follow up properly on identified risks... Will be interesting to follow up on this... as the news starts looking elsewhere... to see what if anything changes in result of it...
