My brother once told me before....because of corruption in Indonesia, "if they are given money to make roads, they will make it thinner and also the road will be smaller" and he added that "if such corruption is done in China, you have to pay more and they give you the full thing".
Which I was quite amazed when I saw this particular post on Construction The Chinese Style and also Shanghai Bridge Made of Rubbish, gave me real shock, how can man be so selfish to pocket money and not think of the consequences of such action? Don't they know that this is a life and death matter?
Construction The Chinese Style
The structure itself was a 13-storey Shanghai apartment building, still under construction, built alongside a number of identical developments, the owners of which are likely eyeing their own foundation...
Investigations into cause of the collapse are ongoing, though it hardly takes much insight to realize the likely reason.
Such innovative construction techniques are said to be typical throughout China.
It is such a lucky thing that this estate is still under construction, or else I am not sure how many people will be dead and affected....
Shanghai Bridge Made of Rubbish
This is even better...a bridge made of waste materials and styrofoam....yes styrofoam!! OMG....that is so unthinkable! How can they be so naive to think that they can get away with such ridiculously build bridge? It will sure collapse!
Citizens of Shanghai are aghast at the collapse of a major new bridge, pictured, which was revealed to be constructed partially out of rubbish instead of concrete.
The bridge, spanning the Wusong River in central Shanghai, was completed in 2009 and replaced a century old bridge with a more modern design.
However, after only a short period in operation the bridge began to collapse, with investigators finding such sturdy construction materials as bags of rubbish, Styrofoam, scrap wood and waste plastic used in the structure in place of reinforced concrete.
