Clemson apartment floor collapses during party

Pixels

Yeah, I'm going to guess they were above capacity for that room. Also, the jumping up and down showed a lot of confidence in the structural integrity of that room.

It's a shame that there will be massive lawsuits over this incident and some contractor and structural engineer is going to have to defend themselves against this stupidity.

I thought this was 2018

Why are they all filming with flip phones?

morons

I am assuming this is a cottages type of place

Shitty build with a nice pool to attract frat stars for a few years before the next best thing happens and then culture moves in.

Those places are built as cheap as possible, I wouldn’t put any faith in being even near capacity of which these people were surely over

I was in a bar Hammond called ( The Library ) right next to SLU and the floor collapsed in there.

Everybody was on the floor time to walk the dinosaur

That was a pretty big apartment it look like a banquet hall

What is the minimum strength needed to pass inspection?
Certainly you can't expect an apartment floor to hold up to a high number of people jumping up and down.

Inside the apartment should be designed to about 40psf of dead load while cooridors or areas of congregation should be designed for about 100 psf.

This reminded me of that wedding in Isreal some 15 or so years ago where many died. Lucky nobody below here was killed.
