INTRODUCTION
SQVE STRUCTURAL SUMMIT | SESSION 91
On 28 March 2025, the world watched in disbelief as a 30+ storey tower in Bangkok, still under construction, collapsed dramatically. Caught on camera from multiple angles, the footage has since gone viral and sparked intense discussions across the engineering community. What makes this incident even more alarming is that Bangkok is located over 1,000 km from the earthquake’s epicenter—yet the building still gave way.
In response to numerous requests, we are organizing a focused technical session to explore this unprecedented event.
What to Expect in the Session:
- A visual breakdown and timeline of the collapse using available footage
- Insights into potential causes—design flaws, seismic underestimation, or construction lapses ??
- Collated reasons from experienced structural engineers
- Learning from failure
This is more than a case study. It’s an opportunity for professionals and learners alike to come together, analyze a failure, and draw essential lessons that can shape the future of structural safety.
Join us live on 29 April 2025 at 8:30 PM IST.
