Chapter 207 Nine Design Flaws, Architectural Flaws, Deafening Sound!!

Inside Building B of the Empire Mall.

5:50 p.m.

The management of the entire Empire Mall gathered.

After receiving Kim Namyoon’s order, he immediately ordered the structural engineers of the mall to investigate secretly.

Now I am waiting for the report to come.

“President Li, are you ready for the worst?”

The vice president sighed.

“Let’s wait until the engineer comes back.”

Li Yongzhong shook his head, he had indeed prepared for the worst in his heart.

That is to immediately alienate from the mall.

But the order from above is on his head, and he is not good to give orders directly now.

Right at this moment.

The structural engineer hurried back.

When the engineer pushed open the office door and everyone present saw his expression, the ominous premonition in his heart burst instantly.

“What do you say?”

Li Yongzhong hurriedly said.

“President, the mall is at risk of collapse at any time, my advice is to evacuate the masses immediately.”

The engineer said breathlessly.

After this inspection.

The engineer learned that the original Empire Mall actually had such a serious construction defect The Empire Mall adopts a beamless floor structure commonly used in multi-storey, large-scale buildings with large loads, each floor is directly connected to the load-bearing column, and there are no beams between the slab columns.

Such a structure has high indoor net height and good lighting and ventilation conditions.

The floor slabs and load-bearing columns of the Imperial Mall are equipped with steel bars to improve the insufficient tensile strength of the concrete itself in the form of reinforced concrete.

After comparing the architectural drawings with the construction drawings, the engineer was surprised to find that the diameter of the load-bearing column on the construction drawing was reduced from 80cm to 60cm.

He was checking for several hours.

Nine building defects were identified.

First, the structural strength is designed according to the four-story apartment, but the actual construction changes the building to a five-story shopping mall;

Second, the roof air conditioning unit was not included in the structural design;

Third, the column spacing is increased compared with the structural drawings, which weakens the strength of the building;

Fourth, the concrete strength of the structural design is 21MPa, and the actual concrete strength is only 18MPa;

The fifth, fourth and fifth floors of some columns lack 15cm column caps (column caps are brackets added to the top of the columns in the beamless floor structure, which are used to improve the bearing capacity, stiffness and impact shearing capacity of the floor slab, and make the load more efficient and evenly transmitted from the floor to the load-bearing column), so that the pressure resistance of this part of the column is greatly weakened;

Sixth, the steel bar of the reinforced floor slab is moved from 5cm from the ground to 10cm, so that the strength of the floor slab is reduced by 50%;

Seventh, the column cap and floor slab that should have been poured as a whole were poured in batches in actual operation, so that the rigidly connected floor slab was detached from the fact and could not be effectively transmitted;

The load-bearing columns of the second to fifth floors should be 80cm in diameter according to the design of the structural planner, and 16 steel bars with a diameter of 22mm should be inside. During the actual construction process, the diameter of these columns was reduced to 60cm, and the internal steel bars were reduced from 16 to 8;

Nine, the fire zone around the escalator and atrium did not avoid the surrounding load-bearing columns, but was fixed in the center of the columns, and workers cut these columns so that the firewall could separate the atrium from the building in the event of a fire, and the strength of this part of the columns was reduced by about 25%.

These nine major designs also have architectural flaws.

It is already a miracle that the Empire Mall has been able to hold out for so many years.

So once there is a problem, then it will trigger a chain reaction, and there is only one result waiting for the Empire Mall, that is, collapse.

This is absolutely unavoidable.

This is also why engineers are in such a hurry.

You know, just came from the A building of the Empire Mall, the space on the fifth floor of the main mall, employees plus customers, it is best to have thousands of people.

If it collapses, then what awaits is a terrifying event that will cause the entire Goryeo shock.

After Li Yongzhong received the engineer’s report, he immediately ordered: “Now immediately send people to evacuate the masses!” ”

“President Li, should we report to the top before deciding?”

When the vice president heard this, he immediately became anxious.

If there is no order from above, the masses are directly evacuated, and the consequences are all responsible.

The loss of the Empire Mall at that time.

It’s all about finding someone else to back the pot, and this person who carries the pot is naturally them.

Because they privately alienated the masses without orders from above, this led to this loss.

When Li Yongzhong heard this, his brows furrowed.

Looking around, everyone meant the same thing as the vice president.

At this moment of life and death, he actually thought of shirking his responsibility, and Li Yongzhong was full of anger in his heart.

“When is it now, if there is really a serious collapse incident in the future, the people have not been evacuated, and there are casualties among the masses, when the time comes, will you bear this responsibility or me?”

Li Yongzhong said coldly.

The vice president sneered: “President, I don’t mean this, but you also know that if there is no accident today, and we evacuate the masses, how will the media report on our imperial group at that time, and what will the people think?” ”

“What kind of losses will our imperial group suffer, will we also be responsible for these things at that time, president, I still have a mortgage and a car loan at home, and a wife and children to support, I really can’t afford to lose this job.”

The words of the vice president came out.

All the management present echoed.

“President Li, what the vice president said is right, I think we should report to the top first, and we will take action after the order from above comes down.”

“Yes, we will slaughter first and then play, and then we will be unlucky!”

Hearing the words of everyone present, Li Yongzhong sighed helplessly.

He also understands how these people feel now.

But he really didn’t want to bet on when something would happen to the Empire Mall.

The current Empire Mall is a ticking time bomb.

It can explode at any time.

And now within the scope of this bomb, in total, thousands of people are present.

The fish pond could be cursed at any time.

He really didn’t dare to bet on this.

“Engineer, can you expect how long the Empire Mall can hold out now?”

Li Yongzhong hurriedly said.

“It’s hard to say, there is a collapse now, and just now I heard a noise from the ceiling when I was on the fifth floor, and there are signs of movement, so if I decide, I still hope to alienate the crowd as soon as possible, drag a minute, drag a second, it may cause unpredictable impacts.”

The engineer shook his head.

He is not a god, how can he predict the exact time?

He can only use his professional advice to make the best recommendations.
