    CHAMPLAIN TOWER COLLAPSE

    Early Observations & Implications


    Thursday 8 July 2021 | 5 pm – 7 pm IST | Zoom
    Admission is free. Register at sefindia.org

    In the early hours of 24 June 24 2021, one wing of the Champlain Towers South in Surfside
    near Miami, Florida, suffered a brittle collapse resulting in significant loss of life. Following the
    failure, the town of Surfside made available on its website all documents related to the project
    including drawings. A quick study of structural drawings provides valuable insights into the
    practice of flat slab design and construction of the time. The unfortunate incident provides an
    opportunity for the Indian structural engineering community to introspect and review the current
    practices in the design and development of similar types of construction.

    The event on 8 July 2021 will discuss the inherent vulnerabilities of the collapsed structure
    and juxtapose it with the code requirements and design practices prevalent then and now. Also, it
    will present a discussion on the issues involved in flat slab buildings, the evolution of design codes
    over the past four decades, and the improvements needed in the application of such structural
    systems in the road ahead…

    The program of the event is:
