I found the doesn’t meet Chinese Code GB50010 (which the calcs are based on) to be the reddest herring follows by the inclusion of Type B columns, etc etc.
Might want to run a thorough and up to date Mal-ware scan.
It can’t be correct as it’s using an incorrect and incomplete column schedule. Seems a bit misleading; more of a propaganda statement than an actual forensic analysis.
You’re right on the money…no pun intended.
UPH required revisions to Foundation, Basement, Lobby, Second, and roof levels specifically for wind load resistance. The second floor framing plan with partial details and subtle but significant differences sticks out like a sore thumb. Legitimizes...
The UPH corridor was part of a substantial beam group that was integral with both the Common Interior Condenser Support structure and the elevator shaft above the top of the shear wall. When this was ripped away just below the machine room, it caused the elevator assemblies to move. I’ve heard...
Revoked the permit briefly so that could be “fixed”

I put it up there with the “3.9 earthquake/aftershock” that:
Wasn’t an actual earthquake
Occurred more than 300mi NNE of Miami; further away than the actual very active seismic area to the south (yes we...
It’s one of the few from the original permit set (identifiable by the ring punches and signatures) but shows only reinforcement detail and minor changes required at that level for the UPH.
Compare to the same page from the “New Penthouse Addition - South” application set that came later (but...
One thing that’s been a subject of speculation is the UPH Addition and what impact it may have had. I think it’s important to note that there is every indication it was intended to be constructed from the very beginning.
Thankfully that’s where ambiguity of the law helps instead of condemns. There’s going to be some proverbial swallowing without a doubt; that’s reserved for those who have skin in this game and not some perverse sleuthing fascination.
It would be very difficult to assess anything those experts suggest for one simple reason.
The plans provided by Surfside do not depict the as-built structure.
I have to admit Charlie, that article didn’t disappoint. Every single “expert” contradicts themselves over and over again; something that has been a recurring theme with CTS for a very long time.
The only engineer who has made a completely accurate public statement was Loizeaux regarding the...
Miami-Dade (Metropolitan Government) does not currently have a sheriff’s department, but Miami-Dade Police Department (Metro Dade) is in the process of transitioning to one. Some municipalities have their own PD, some use MDPD on contract.
Surfside is one of the smaller muni departments with 24...
It’s not just silly, it’s absurd.
Special for you Optical98 with geographic label’s and all.
This is a great example of the current WINCO2 SID amended with PBN1 approval. No De-Rate T/O thrust, max climb rate, quickly cleaned up and accel to 250kts/no-delay. The turn from SENOY to SIMBA rolls...
There was a reason why I suggested you take the time to see what SIDs are actually in use and the number of departures that flew one of these:
VACAY
BNGOS
GLADZ
TWZTR
AARPS
That number is ZERO.
Those new Departure Procedures will not become available until the 22nd of this month at the...
