[quote user="Euclid"]I speculate that this was not a design flaw, but rather an error in the design of the method of construction or a failure to follow a correct method. [/quote] It can be anything from faulty structural analysis to wrong drawings to missed indermediate states of construction to bad workmanship. Except a few cases it is usually a combination. [quote user="Euclid"]Then there is the matter of the cracks that had been discovered and reported a few days earlier. They were dismissed as not being a structural concern. And yet they have offered no explanation for them.[/quote] Cracks in concrete are not pe se a problem. Cracks up to a width of 0.01 inch in tensioned concrete. Concrete is a crack prone building technique because of the low tensile strength and brittleness. Regards, Volker
