'It is still way to early to know for sure, but some things are starting to emerge as far as the possible reasons for the collapse of the condo tower (Champaign Tower South) in Surfside City, Florida. The two best sites for getting an understanding of what may have happened are (1) the 2018 engineering report from Morabito (engineering) Consultants; and (2) the chat board of structural engineers in which they discuss the evidence and speculate on the significance. What seems most likely is what one engineer on that chat board wrote: “In big accidents like this, it’s rarely 1 single item that causes the failure; there are usually many contributing factors that all come together in the wrong way.”'
The evidence so far seems to point to: Poor design, shoddy construction, and poor maintenance, for why this particular building collapsed. Underlying all this is the issue of salt water intrusion, which may well be endemic to the entire area.
