Lina hotel

In my opinion, there may be two reasons why a hotel in Pakistan was so vulnerable when it was washed away by the flood. The first hotel was hit head-on by a flash flood. In the face of natural forces, our artificial buildings are vulnerable. The second flash flood destroyed the foundation of the hotel and caused the hotel to collapse.

The quality of building foundation determines the firmness of superstructure. A newly-built luxury hotel in Pakistan was washed away by the flood in the flash flood. After the flood, not only the hotel but also other buildings were damaged. A luxury hotel was washed away, which brought huge economic losses. There are only two reasons for this.

First, the mountain torrents hit the hotel head on, and the forces of nature destroyed everything. Although we humans have ruled the earth, we still don't have the ability to change nature and compete with it. In the face of natural disasters such as typhoon, flood and drought, we can only reduce the losses caused by disasters, but can't completely eliminate them.

If the flow of mountain torrents is large enough to impact the hotel from the front, the hotel will be vulnerable to a huge and lasting impact. In this case, even if other buildings are thrown into the torrent, they will collapse. Wherever flash floods go, many buildings are destroyed, and people will lose their lives if they don't dodge in time.

Second, the hotel foundation is not solid. If the foundation is destroyed, the superstructure will be destroyed. In addition to the strong flash floods, there is another point that may cause the hotel to be washed away and collapsed. This is the quality of hotel buildings. If the foundation of the hotel is not strong enough, it may be destroyed under the scouring of mountain torrents. Without foundation support, the superstructure will be destroyed, which is only a matter of a few seconds.

In addition to the weak foundation and poor quality of superstructure, the hotel's ability to resist nature may also be reduced if it is not built in strict accordance with the design quality requirements. Unqualified building quality will be defeated in a short time under the test of nature.

Where flash floods pass, there are strict requirements on the quality of buildings and the reaction speed of people. The quality of a building that can stand still must be good; If you want to build a beautiful building, you must not be careless when building it, let alone cut corners.
