42 Buildings Subside, Tilt, & Crack, Preliminary Conclusions of The Expert Group Released. Exclusive geologist interview. In-Depth Analysis. This is the latest situation in the Tianjin Biguiyuan residential complex, where subsidence, tilting, and cracking have occurred. Videos taken by owners show that there are construction workers everywhere in the complex. Multiple areas with subsidence, cracking, and protruding ground have been temporarily filled and leveled. Some areas have not been filled yet, and geotextiles have been used to cover certain sections of the ground. Residents who uncovered the geotextiles discovered that the cracks between the buildings and the ground have become larger, and the degree of subsidence has worsened. Some videos indicate that buildings 37, 38, and 39, which experienced significant tilting before, have tilted even more severely. In one video, a resident mentions that the ground near Building 39 has sunk more than 2 meters. Another video clip shows that the walls of the town house area to the west of Building 39 have deformed and suffered damage, sinking by approximately 40 centimeters. #tofudreg #tianjin #chinaobserver#countrygarden All rights reserved.
