This is the interior of the column, there was a facade around it. You can tell because the mortar in some places are flat from when it was against the facade.
Was it made properly? Not really for supporting a lot of weight, but it was probably fine depending how that overhang was made.
Yeah, if it was just decorative with a facade then this is fine.
I feel like this is absolutely not fine. I know the facade would help protect the interior, but if any shear force is applied to the core, that thing is less stable than a fifty-move jenga tower.
If the facade were to rot, let's say, and someone were to lean against it, they might end up having the whole thing collapse on them.
I don't work in construction, but I don't think there's any way that meets modern building codes. If a contractor left something like that for me, I'd be getting it inspected for sure.
Thank you... Anyone who had the case of the Hyatt Regency walkway collapse drilled into their heads in school recognizes the potential for shear force to fuck this column up.
I feel like all you need to recognize that this is not okay is to not have a traumatic brain injury with a side dish of lazy fuckhead
Yeah, but it's pretty clear as to why it's not OK when you understand shear force.
Also this. Basically, TXDOT orders review of the new Corpus Christi bay bridge after a campus bridge built by the contractors failed. Review found the pylon supports insufficient, but they also found the triangle frame connecting the box frames with cables would merc those cables with almost any sheer force. I believe changes were made, have new contractor and project is moving forward as of late last year.
