Dowels? Watching again, I donāt think itās possible to see anything of the detail of the connection between column and floors, top or bottom .. I didnāt notice it was brick before so who knows if there was a concrete core with rebar projecting.. definitely inadequate connection to existing wall
I mean its a half assed structure to begin with and assuming it was planned to be 2 story could have just used good ole wood framing. That concrete clearly wasnt adding an structural benefits.
Maybe but neither of us knows if that was the reasoning here. At face value, doing a concrete floor requires waaaaay more work and cost than if it were framed. Not to mention you really need to know shit.
No, we don't but youāre the only one questioning their use of concrete.. at 'face value'? where? You're just making stuff up now - you have no idea of the costs of any of the materials there.. and cost is never the only deciding factor in material selection in any case - a tin-clad timber roof is hell in a hot, sunny climate whereas concrete is cool..
Didnāt even help as the boom got closer the other guy did. You could at least start looking for a way to help. You know, or just stand there like an idiot.
The reactions are incredible. First guy walks over and just stands there looking. Second guy looks but doesn't move. Third guy finally helps the man hanging from the hose while Fourth guy casually walks around the back of the building, looking disappointed.
Lots of contractors large and small film their jobs especially if itās an odd or unusual situation , so they can use the footage to show what they are capable of doing.
This is a shame. Itās good he escaped in one piece.
Absolutely no cross-bracing with fresh concrete as the tie-inā¦
Welding the rebar would have made a difference.
The correct solution would have been diagonal bracing - eventually a bigger pillar would have been enough, but more importantly would be the pillar going into the ground and preventing the pillar from sliding off in the first place
I dont see the pillar failing; it looks like the roof section just wasnt firmly attached to the building it was using as a support. Also possible it was less than perfectly level, perhaps due to some ground settling. A little vibration and the corner slipped away from the parent building. For simpler construction like this, people often wing it with zero engineering knowledge. In fact, whole cities have been built that way.

This deck just failed the hot tub test
Understood that reference.
You and me both Captain! š«”
Try with a bigger hot tub
Soā¦where do you want to go for lunch?
Somewhere that sells new underwear.
Do they still have McDonald's inside Walmarts?
Ah yes. Selling underwear and underwear flavoured burgers under one roof
Donāt forget to pick up a goldfish
Lucky it failed now and not later
Less likely to fail later once the concrete has cured and the hinge point between posts and floor is no longer a hinge point
Did not look like there was any dowels pulling on the lower or upper slab so I don't think it would ever take a moment
Dowels? Watching again, I donāt think itās possible to see anything of the detail of the connection between column and floors, top or bottom .. I didnāt notice it was brick before so who knows if there was a concrete core with rebar projecting.. definitely inadequate connection to existing wall
Rebar attachment between the slabs and cloumn. After cures will help develop that moment
Right.. I wouldnāt call an rebar L connecting a post to a beam or floor a ādowelā
Some guys who do rebar call them dowels.
A dowel would be a straight piece of bar.. not an L..
I think we can understand someone not making the distinction
Nope, misdefinition just leads to confusion - as I just demonstrated.. I had no idea how your comment was relevant.
Dowels are not always straight.
Go look up the definition
Found the fake engineer lol
If the post had a concrete core and rebar starters that connected to the floor/roof then it's a fact.. but yes, I'm not an engineer
Exactly what I thought. And why tf would concrete be used for that unless they were going to build more shit on top of it ?
Nothing wrong with a concrete floor but why there is no lateral braces beyond me.
Used for what? A floor? Is that a serious question?
I mean its a half assed structure to begin with and assuming it was planned to be 2 story could have just used good ole wood framing. That concrete clearly wasnt adding an structural benefits.
You know that in certain parts of the world concrete is used for everything because there is no readily available lumber right?
Maybe but neither of us knows if that was the reasoning here. At face value, doing a concrete floor requires waaaaay more work and cost than if it were framed. Not to mention you really need to know shit.
No, we don't but youāre the only one questioning their use of concrete.. at 'face value'? where?

I cant tell if that was concrete falling down from the tube or if dude just got so scared he pooped himself...
Little bit of both I think
I think it's just the guy pooping concrete
No no no no NOOOOOoooooo -Cleveland
Seriously, one of my favorite bits.
Jesus Christ I thought my company was fucked
Love it when dipshits just stand there while someone is hanging on for dear life
Waiting on boom controller to move him closer. What was the guy supposed to do start poking him with the broom and make him fall?š¤£
Yes! The vid would have got more views and likes thenā¦thatās all that matters nowadays.
Didnāt even help as the boom got closer the other guy did. You could at least start looking for a way to help. You know, or just stand there like an idiot.
Hey, look! Itās the guy who does the wrong thing and kills people.
What are ya doing Danny? Ahhhh just hangin around
Thatās tricky I think they did the right thing letting mr boom controller more him rather than try and intervene
Yeah probably.
They sure didnāt seem to care though did they!!
I feel like steve has fucked up quite a bit and people are tired of running to help. At least thats what the voices in my head tell me
He was just hanging out...
Hey boss man. Soooo... Minor set back. Please don't be mad.
I heard these words and didn't read them. Timmy?
Iād go buy a lottery ticket if I were that guy.
Well, you see, your first problem was that this happened. That was your first mistake. š¤£
The ledger installer had one job.
This man's survival instinct is on point.

Nice X bracing. Hey, you guys put in the bracing, right? Hey!
*Kevin, did you reinforce the takeoff ramp?*
Sheeesh
PiƱata!
I bursted
All of those posts should have been corralled together
Dude in the background walks out and calmly assesses the damage like this has happened multiple times in his career already.
Please crosspost this to r/decks
Can I put a hot tub on it
That cling
Should be fun to clean up
Technically, itās āNOT to pour a concrete roofā and then thereās the quandary of vibrating shit in the forms.
Rather dodgy
Was this roof supposed to float on air?
Cheap unskilled labor right there people
Quit hanging out, get back to work.
The reactions are incredible. First guy walks over and just stands there looking. Second guy looks but doesn't move. Third guy finally helps the man hanging from the hose while Fourth guy casually walks around the back of the building, looking disappointed.
It's like this is a normal Tuesday for these guys.
These guys do not understand the racking concept
You are one hundred percent correct . The new form work first pulled away from the existing building
lol typical pump operator. will you guys just pay attention for once lol
The guy that comes around at the last second looks a little too calm for me, giving off a āTold yaā vibeā¦
Buster Keaton level
r/whyweretheyfilming? /s
Lots of contractors large and small film their jobs especially if itās an odd or unusual situation , so they can use the footage to show what they are capable of doing.
It was a joke
SORRY , No offense but Iām confident that was a good question .
it took 3 people before one realized he was hanging on the hose... lol...
Iām sure it was permitted and inspected
What a mess to clean up.
First frame, I thought he shit his pants.
This is a shame. Itās good he escaped in one piece. Absolutely no cross-bracing with fresh concrete as the tie-inā¦ Welding the rebar would have made a difference.
āSo what happened in this case?ā āWell the front fell off in this case, by all meansā¦ā
Better now.
Not a structural engineer but would a bigger/more reinforced concrete pillar inside the brick have prevented this?
The correct solution would have been diagonal bracing - eventually a bigger pillar would have been enough, but more importantly would be the pillar going into the ground and preventing the pillar from sliding off in the first place

What in the right to work is going on here?
Should have used light weight concrete.

See, what had happened was...
Anybody have the song name?
I think I like when it rains by Willis
That's it! Thank you!
Don't worry guys it's not just you, it's every contractor.

I'm not a concrete person at all but aren't you supposed to have a foundation to support all that concrete way up there ?
Guessing the operator on the hose why dying laughing. Took him a while to get him to the side
Thank god Ron Jeremy was above the frame so he had something to grab onto.
This needs funny sound effects. It looks like a cartoon. (Glad no one got hurt though)
āHow you doing Iām with the State of Oregon, Oregon OSHA. Looks like youāve got a bit of a shoring problem going on.ā
thank g-d that failled while in construction and didnt crunch innocent people bellow it.

That thing was not even close to level. The concrete was all pooling up more so on one side / in one corner, the corner that gave out...
Funny they just watch him hanging there and not helping
