Comments on: More Problems for China https://whynow.dumka.us/2008/05/23/more-problems-for-china/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Fri, 23 May 2008 14:40:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2008/05/23/more-problems-for-china/comment-page-1/#comment-36607 Fri, 23 May 2008 14:40:50 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=4215#comment-36607 If they can open some roads and clear the rivers, they can get the equipment in to rebuild. They will use reinforced concrete to build, and the buildings will be identical, so they can move the forms from one site to the next. They are in a position to do this because of their ramp up of capabilities for the Olympics, and the Three Gorges Dam.

Let’s hope that they use rebar and tie it together this time to prevent the tragedy of the school “pancaking”. Given all of the local people who saw what happens when you don’t do it, the new buildings should be a great deal safer.

This is a very active area, and needs stringent building codes.

It has to be wearing people out to seemingly have a new problem every day.

Three years is a pretty aggressive target for so many structures.
