Product Description A relatively new building collapses, killing 98 people. There was no earthquake, no explosion, or terrorist attack. This book probes into how this calamity could have easily been averted and provides much-needed recommendations so that this tragedy does not happen again. In his 30-plus years of engineering and construction practice, Greg Batista, PE has a unique vantage point to the behind-the-scenes inner-workings of the construction, concrete repair, and structural engineering industry in Florida, and the confluence of the obvious and not-so-obvious issues that attributed to the deadliest building failure in modern history.
