CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES THAT HAVE REACHED A NEW LEVEL

[@valkillme501]

Turkey has a strong passion for construction by cutting corners on earthquake safety measures to be more precise 1:21

[@MarcTompkins]

I was thinking, during that segment: the built-in insulation is a great idea, and the system looks very cool and easy to work with... but there's no lateral bracing whatsoever. I'd hate to be inside - or on the sidewalk next to it - in the next earthquake.

[@WeirdWabbit]

AND they didn't even put mortar between each brick just top and bottom negating any insulation anyways as air will just penetrate all over the place.

[@michiellombaers3198]

And those bricks will do *nothing* to minimise contact noises.

[@ParickVokinger]

Corners bring stability to the masonry. But with this stone shape and insulation, it can also be a weakening.@@MarcTompkins

What's the Earthquake resistance of those bricks/polystyrene there in Turkey. Looks flimsy for a County that gets devastated from time to time.

[@professorg8383]

Yeah, I don't consider any construction from that part of the world, something to ever be considered. The drive in that part of the world is how to make things cheap and quick, that looks like solid traditional construction when completed. Their line of thinking on so many things is that if it looks the same, it is the same. But of course, it isn't the same.

[@stupitdog9686]

I wonder what tech. is used to screw a heavy load on a wall like that? You couldn't just drill a hole and use a rawl plug to screw into!?

[@professorg8383]

@@stupitdog9686 Well you should know that these are made in Turkey and supposedly can be used anywhere in the country. of course in areas where the recent quake hit, they lost about 70% of homes and many more buildings. The average concrete block is about 4 times stronger than this size hollow clay bricks. It's probably worse than that with this stryofoam insert design. They use these clay blocks because they are a cheap substitute for concrete,. Thet slap walls together with these, often very poorly done and then cover it with mortar. When they're done, it looks like a solid poured concrete wall. The operative words being, "looks like". The reality is that it's a wonder these walls hold themselves up!

[@stupitdog9686]

@@professorg8383 Wow! I've seen similar construction methods and bricks used in lots of country's. Scary!

[@professorg8383]

@@stupitdog9686 They are widely used in some countries that have little in the way of building codes. I watch a lot of these construction videos posted to promote their companies and I frequently cringe at what I see. The way these guys do concrete has some pretty obvious flaws. The use of different type of red clay bricks is common, but it's quite difficult to find published specs, which makes me suspicious. There has been a lot of hollow designs showing up in videos. Generally these have a wider footprint than solid bricks. Many very similar inside to standard concrete blocks. The hollow designs are extrusions and to makes them with any consistency, the formulations would seem to be in need of change. Apparently, they now mix in fly ash and even rice hulls, and other materials. The resulting brick extrusions may be a bit firmer so they can cure to consistent shapes. The hollow, waffle designs are better thermally and that's what the promote from an energy standpoint and larger lightweight blocks build faster. But strangely enough, these blocks are designed to be used with the cavities horizontal. They should be more structurally strong the other way. Common sense suggests that structural compressive strength is lower than concrete blocks, but without specified numbers, you don't really know how strong these are. That said, testing can be done independently just by purchasing the blocks ad doing standard structural testing on them. I did find a source fr such data which confirms much of what I surmised. I'm not surprised. I think the recent earthquakes have given us some good data. When old, well constructed buildings were left with little or no damage, but newer construction buildings became ruble, I think that's pretty telling. Turkey has pointed a finger at contractors cutting corners and ignoring what little standards they had. I will admit that there is a huge lack of specification data, But with some limited data and basic knowledge of materials and construction techniques, it's still fairly easy to draw at least some general conclusions. And proof is in performance.

..turkey’s way to improve earthquake safety!… 😱🤥 🤯 ..a spit in the face of all earthquake victims this year and the countries sending aid/money

[@alexb.2859]

Because these are not bricks. These are ceramic blocks. They are better than bricks in terms of thermal insulation, but they are somewhat fragile. You need special mounts to hang something on the walls made of such blocks.

[@timogeerties3487]

Not only that but since the insulation has gaps inbetween, it isn't as effective as if you were to glue it on the stone surface as a continuous layer

[@vapeurdepisse]

It's trash, the insulation has gaps at each brick. Better off doing regular bricks and external uninterrupted insulation... PS: looks like someone else made the exact same comment above.

[@odw32]

Recycled materials aren't eco-friendly if they can still cause environmental damage after being applied. If you "recycle" plastics into aggregate construction products, they can leech microplastics and plasticizers into the soil. That soil will be difficult to sanitize after 50 years, which means if you want to grow some food, you'd have to remove the whole top layer and treat it as "polluted soil". In most cases, it's actually better to just fully burn plastics in a waste processing plant with a properly filtered exhaust, so you get some useful electricity/heat out of it.

[@texanplayer7651]

1. Any material can and will leave micro particles over time. And Calcium carbonates and high amounts of stone dust from the pure concrete that can drastically increase soil acidity really doesn't seem any better in comparison. 2. Generally when you build a house or appartment, it means the area is not suitable for agriculture in the first place, or that the community has no plans on doing agriculture on it for many generations to come. 3. Even if THAT is still a problem, buildings occupy far lesser space than agriculture, so not much is actually lost. Worst that can happen is that after bulldozing the area is become a micro desert that isn't even big enough to be seen on google maps
