CEA - The Surfside Florida Condo Collapse with Mark Oakeson

In every structural design class, students are presented with case studies of historical structural failures to learn from. And the case of the condominium collapsed in Surfside, Florida, will certainly be one of them in the future.

Today, Mark Oakeson jumps back on to walk you through some of the aspects he thinks may have led the building to collapse. To do this, he combines his own career and work dealing with structural design on a daily basis with assessment reports evaluating the condo’s conditions.

What You’ll Learn:

● Well-Known Structural Failures of the Past

● Difference Between The ASD and LRFD Design Methods

● Did the Condo’s Design Meet the Requirements of the Code of the Time?

● The Mistake That Possibly Started the Structural Damage to the Building

● What Spalling Concrete Is --- And Why It Was a Warning Sign

● Could We Have Avoided The Collapse?

● How Can We Avoid Other Tragedies Like This?
