I came to this conclusion after reading this article. [url]https://modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/the-big-sink[/url]</p> <p>It was known that the Millennium Tower was built in concrete. A similar building in the neighbourhood was rejected after a peer review that revealed unacceptable settlements. A peer review was rejected by the developer and San Francisco's Department of Building Inspection (DBI) had not the power to enforce a peer review.</p> <p>The chosen combined pile and raft foundation is able to carry concrete buildings. I linked the Messeturm Frankfurt which is a 846 ft high concrete building.</p> <p>There seem be some heavy mistakes in the foundation's structural analysis.</p> <p>And something else went wrong: The developer got the DBI's approval thought it was already known that the settlements were much higher than anticipated at that building state.</p> <p>BTW: Here in Germany a peer review is required by law for every building. It is usually done by government licenced check engineers.<br />Regards, Volker</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
