This is a huge thing in the engineering world. I suspect people will lose their "stamps"  An engineer's stamp is the equivalent of a doctor's prescription pad.

After effects of an earthquake from the bomb set off the FL coast a  few days ago.  The earth cracked opened, now the creatures from Journey To The Center Of The Earth will emerge and terrorize the area.  Which is conveniently in the vicinity of The Rock's beloved city of Miami.  Stand by for a Coming Soon news release where Dwayne Johnson is promoted to head of the neighborhood watch committee to handle this mess.

I hope so.  This is happening too often lately. Look at the New Hard Rock casino that was being built in New Orleans.

I'm a Structural PE in 17 states.

There will be a forensic evaluation of the site to determine negligence on either the Engineer of Record or the Contractor (or Subs).

Going to be a few years in court.

I've been under evaluation before, turns out the Contractor messed up and built it wrong. There was a large concrete retaining wall next to a bridge that buckled after a heavy rain event. Contractor built it wrong and was held liable.

It's a terrible feeling.

I bet the Engineer for that structure design is drinking heavily today. ;D

If found negligent, the PE can lose his license for period of time or forever. They can also be criminally liable for any loss of life.

The cost of the failure will be covered by the Engineering/Construction company's insurance and is most like set certain min/max amount.

Maybe this had something to do with it or maybe not. Is 2mm a year a lot of movement?

I was thinking of buying a Condo in the Pearl District. Guess I'll think again before making a big mistake.

It could.

If a building is sinking or leaning, it's typically a bad sign.

The frame and foundation is designed to have a little flex in it, but not much.

Depending on the soil properties, there is always potential for settlement over time.

Too many variables.

I'm curious to see what happens.

Parts of Florida are at sea level and sea levels have been on the rise. The average elevation of Miami is 6 feet above sea level. Miami's sea level is rising on an average of 1 inch every 3 years.

Houston sinks like 2" per year.

Haven't seen a building fall over yet.

Soft soils and the reduction of the water table are to blame.

Typically the sinking is over a large area, so the impact to a foundation is minimal.

We also designed for this when i lived there.

I used to design some seriously robust foundations.

Lots of drilled piers.

Collapsed Miami condo had been sinking into Earth as early as the 1990s, researchers say

I know there’s not a tally yet, but I’m surprised only a handful of people died in this thing. Sad stuff.

I studied electrical engineering...but it was explained to me that Houston highrises are engineered to displace less than the soil under the building...so the thing effectively "Floats"...
