Miami Condo Collapse: How A Pool Deck Brings Down Buildings

In this video your host Jeff Ostroff helps you narrow down a root cause for the condo collapse in surfside, Florida by analyzing everything we know about this Pool deck, and how a pool deck can bring down an entire building with it. We have several slides to explain to you in simple terms the construction of the pool deck and building, and the Achilles tendon that may have aided the Miami condo collapse. The Champlain Towers South condo complex collapse was located at 8777 Collins Ave. in Surfside, FL, which is just north of Miami beach.

Here we look at more evidence that has come to light in the last few days, like videos Mike videos touring through the parking garage where we are able to now see some of their pre-existing damage on the ceiling of the garage of this collapsed condo and possibly identify the exact member column support column that might have failed.

We also show possible causes such as construction work that was done on the pool deck area back in 2020. We also look through building permits to examine everything that was done to the property over the years and try to determine if that could have had something to do with accelerating the problematic areas that caused the pool deck to collapse by way of a punching shear failure. This collapsing pool deck left most of the columns standing, yet managed to collapse an entire 12 story condo building minutes later.
