(Hai Pe) - The fire fighters are currently evacuating guests from a guest house on HaShef Street in the Bat Galim neighborhood in Haifa following a ceiling collapse. The city engineer closed floors 2,3 and 1 in the building and allowed the use of floor number XNUMX.
We update from the field. Stay with us.
Fire and Rescue was handed over to Lahi Pa - The News Corporation:
A little while ago, a message was received at the 102 fire and rescue center about a ceiling collapse in a building used as a guest house on HaShef Street in the Bat Galim neighborhood, Haifa.
The team of fire fighters from the Haifa station under the command of Major Yosef Kiuf went up to the second floor of the three-story building, they saw remnants of crumbled concrete coming from the ceiling above, fortunately there is a wooden ceiling lowering that prevented the concrete from falling on the residents of the apartment.
Now, on the recommendation of the fighters, the Israel Police has cleared the building of people, while the Haifa Municipality's engineering officials are already in place to make decisions for the continued operation of the building.
In a joint assessment of the situation by fire and rescue, the Israel Police and the director of engineering of the Haifa municipality, the second and third floors of the building will remain closed, the first floor can return to normal.
A total of eight tourists from Scandinavia were evacuated from the building, who will receive assistance from the Haifa municipality and move to a safe place.
I wrote before and "Haifa" copied...
The software engineer of dangerous buildings in the municipality of Haifa is not a structural engineer at all.
Therefore, the third largest city in Israel has no professionals at all to inspect dangerous buildings. The mayor, whose responsibility it is, buries her head among the ruins.
The structure will not be inspected or treated because when there is moisture that penetrates the iron, the iron rusts and swells and cracks the concrete in my opinion
Old structures should be checked and possible
Fix and strengthen and be beautiful one hour before
Full of dangerous old housing and buildings in Bat Galim.
Corrosion eats the iron. The concrete is crumbling. And the building boom collapses.
All coastal neighborhoods should be required to undergo an engineering inspection by an expert constructor for the building's durability after 50 years.
People make changes that harm the rigidity of the skeleton such as opening large windows, taking down internal columns, adding heavy balconies, installing heavy equipment on roofs. And they don't understand that all this changes the transfer of forces and the stiffness of the skeleton and the ceilings.
Whoever makes such changes without a serious constructor is playing roulette on the lives of the entire population of the building. You don't feel the changes in the strength of the iron and the concrete until suddenly you see cracks and the rusty iron breaks the concrete and suddenly there is a collapse
shocking. It's very lucky that the tourists weren't hurt, Tshatikara didn't hurt them.
Wow, great luck lowering the ceiling.
That way the ceiling concrete did not fall on the occupants. wow
