The Shanxi Hotel collapsed, and the rusty steel bar was not as thick as the thumb?

On August 29th, 2020, a hotel in Shanxi collapsed, causing serious consequences. According to the field investigation, the accident has a great relationship with the quality of the hotel project. The steel found in the collapsed house is rusty and only the thickness of the thumb.

The main reason for the collapse of the hotel This collapsed hotel is located in Chenzhuang Village, Taosi Township, Xiangfen County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. This house belongs to the villagers' self-built house and has a history of nearly 40 years. The building materials used at that time were not up to standard. The house has two floors with a total area of more than 400 square meters. With a two-story structure, the bearing capacity of the lower layer becomes larger. The house is in disrepair for a long time, and it can't stand the wind and rain, so it is inevitable to collapse. However, the serious consequences caused by the accident are irreversible. Twenty-nine people were killed and seven others were seriously injured in the accident, and they are still being treated in the hospital. After the accident, the police intervened in the investigation. The owner of this hotel has been under the control of the police and needs further investigation.

According to the reporter's on-site understanding, the steel falling from the roof is very thin, about the thickness of the thumb, and a thick layer of rust has been born. The bearing capacity of such a thin steel is definitely poor. Although cement was added to the roof at that time, the firmness was far from enough. At present, according to the situation, it is speculated that it is caused by the aging of building equipment used in houses.

Our personal safety is more important than everything at any time and anywhere, so we should put safety first in everything we do. For houses that have been in disrepair for a long time, or the equipment used to decorate the houses before is not up to standard, it is necessary to decorate the houses on time and replace the main building equipment. Don't move in easily if it can't be repaired. After all, the consequences of an accident are unimaginable. Hotel owners who are responsible for this accident will also face severe punishment by law, so this incident also reminds us to take a warning.
