Cause Of the Failure

Cause Of Failure part.2

  • Thought it was a terrorists attack, but it was really because of the bad design of the structure
  • Caused by the Pal-Kal method, which was to have thin, light-weighted ceilings
  • The building was too heavy for the base, so the owners installed the Pal-Kal ceilings to the third floor
  • This was not a good idea, due to the fact that there was a third floor
  • Owners decided to remove the partitions to create a more open space
  • The walls were load-bearing walls and this made the floor above, sag
  • The owners thought it was a small problem and did not know the consequences
  • the next day, The floor collapsed into the third floor
  • The Pal-Kal inventor and 3 other people involved in the construction were arrested and were to have prison sentences for death and sabotage by negligence
  • wedding hall destroyed by bad design-supposed to be 2 structures, pal-kal method is not effective and owners should have left the partitions
  • Should have used a thicker ceiling material
  • The building has now been knocked down and people are to be cautioned of the Pal-Kal ceiling method

say NO to Pal-Kal!
