well this is embarrassing for california and america - turns out that SHITTY low-quality construction standards killed five international students from ireland and wounded 9 more:

http://www.thejournal.ie/balcony-collapse-california-2164756-Jun2015/

if cali can't even build simple balconies to code, imagine how bad things will be in a serious quake. way to use cut-rate mexican labor for everything, you cheap dumbfucks.

a balcony of that size has a code requirement of supporting at least 3Klbs. there were 13 students on the balcony, a mix of males and females. it's unlikely that irish international students would have a mixed-gender average weight of 231lbs each. which means it wasn't up to code.

(dude who hasn't been to Ireland)

They easily could have had more than 3,000 lbs on that balcony. The Irish consul even said there could have been 14 people on there. It will turn out to be more, no doubt.

Building something to a 3000 pound standard does not mean it is supposed to fall off and kill everyone at 3100 pounds.

it means at 3K, its structural stability is not as assured if there are additional stressors like a strong wind. the actual plain unstressed loading capacity would be more like 5-6K and possibly quite a bit more before actual structural failure absent other stresses.

If the building code requires a balcony to safely support 3000 pounds, the balcony should not be collapsing at 3100 pounds.

CR unless it's subject to other stresses. If it collapses at 3100 lbs under normal circumstances, no way it can withstand 3000 in a quake, extreme weather, etc.

Because libs = bad and deserve to die, berkeley = lib, and it doesn't matter that they were just Irish tourists looking to hang out for a summer.

Did I mention that it's LIBS who are mentally ill?

normally the maximum load is 0.8 times its real bearing capacity

so 3000/0.8=3750 lbs

but lets be realistic, the way you check for failure in structures is by dynamic action

im pretty sure if 14 people jump and land at once, the force is enough to surpass the shear capacity of the concrete slab, then boom, the connection to the wall cracks and just falls loose and SPLAT, heem sleepy

The eyewitness accounts of that one are pretty disturbing. There were mangled bodies everywhere and rescue workers had to cut through corpses in order to reach survivors. To make things even worse, a water main broke and was flooding the scene. And if that wasn't bad enough, several electrical wires were dangling all over the place, showering everyone with sparks and death.

Lol at the creeps in this thread claiming they are balcony code legal experts and using this tragedy to decry the supposedly poor infrastructure of the US.

"Berkeley officials said the building code would have required the balcony to hold at least 60 pounds per square foot. Its exact dimensions were not released, but Grace Kang, a structural engineer and spokesman for Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center at Berkeley, said it looked to her to be 4 by 6 feet, or 24 square feet. That would mean it was supposed to hold at least 1,440 pounds."

Not the 3000+ lbs requirement xo lied about.

13 people were on the balcony, so if the average weight was over 110 pounds, they were in big trouble.

As always, XO: A pretty shitty source of news.

Pretty fucking outrageous that a balcony isn't required to hold a tight mass of people standing on it.

Footage of the building, with what looked like rotten wooden support beams where the balcony once was, has imbued a growing sense of bewilderment in Ireland about structural standards in the United States. Many engineering experts have questioned the use of wood rather than steel for such construction, saying that such methods appear more in keeping with developing countries.
