Recently, the owners of Huapeng East Bank Community, Nanchang High-tech Zone, Jiangxi Province found that a load-bearing column in the basement of the community had burst and the main (steel) reinforcement was bent and deformed. The incident has sparked concern among the property owners, who doubt the quality and safety of the entire complex and want a wider range of beams, columns, and slabs to be fully inspected and identified. However, while the personnel involved tried to repair the damaged columns, the owners stopped their actions, resulting in clashes and several owners being injured. At present, ** has been involved in the investigation.
It is understood that in May this year, the owners of the community found that a load-bearing column in the basement of the community had burst and the main (steel) reinforcement was bent and deformed. After investigation and analysis, an appraisal agency recently issued an analysis and treatment opinion on the cause of the damage of the load-bearing column. The results showed that "there were serious defects in the construction quality of the concrete part, which seriously affected the structural safety", and "the damage was an individual case, and there was no universality". However, this result did not dispel the doubts of the owners, but only deepened their concerns about the quality and safety of the entire community.
In order to ensure the safety of the community, the owners wanted to conduct comprehensive inspection and identification of a wider range of beams, columns, and slabs. To this end, they negotiated with relevant units, and entrusted Jiangxi Provincial Architectural Design and Research Institute Group as the appraisal agency, and selected the Nanchang Construction Engineering Quality Inspection Center as the testing unit for the safety appraisal of the housing structure. However, during the inspection, the owners found more problems, including the number of rebars at the bottom of the beams, the thickness of the rebar protective layer, and the quality of some concrete did not meet the design standards. These problems further exacerbate the concerns of the property owners and make them more suspicious of the quality and safety of the entire community.
In November, the appraisal unit issued a "Analysis and Treatment Opinions on the Cause of Damage to the Basement Garage Frame Column (Axis No. D1-PXD1-8) of Huapeng East Bank Community". This document points out: "There are serious defects in the construction quality of the concrete part above the secondary pouring interface of the damaged column, and the longitudinal stress of the main reinforcement of the damaged column has produced serious buckling deformation, which can not meet the safety bearing requirements and seriously affect the safety of the structure, so reinforcement and reinforcement measures should be adopted immediately." However, the submission did not fully address the owners' concerns. They believe that the damaged column is just an isolated case, and the quality and safety of the entire community is what they really care about. As a result, they wanted to fully inspect and characterize a wider range of building structures.
In order to stop the 100 Families Helping Program from repairing the damaged columns, the owners took action. While the personnel involved tried to repair the damaged columns, the owners stood around the load-bearing columns and stopped their movements. Clashes broke out between the two sides, resulting in injuries to several owners. This incident has aroused widespread concern and discussion in society. Many people understood the concerns of the owners and supported their request for a comprehensive inspection and identification of the entire community.
At present, the Nanchang Municipal Public Security Bureau has intervened to investigate the conflict. At the same time, the owners of Huapeng East Coast Community also said that they will continue to insist on comprehensive inspection and identification of a wider range of beams, columns and slabs. They believe that only in this way can the quality and safety of the entire community be truly guaranteed, and the safety of residents' lives and property.
In this incident, we saw the contradiction between the quality of the building and the rights and interests of the residents. As consumers and owners, residents have the right to know the safety of their living environment. However, in this case, their rights and interests were violated and neglected. This irresponsible attitude not only puts residents at unnecessary risk and loss, but also shows us the lack of ethics and responsibility in the construction industry.
The incident of the bursting of the load-bearing column in the East Bank Community of Huapeng has aroused our attention and thinking about the problem of building quality. As consumers and owners, we should pay more attention to our living environment and rights and interests. At the same time, we also hope that the relevant departments can strengthen the supervision and management of the construction industry, so that the quality of construction can be better guaranteed. Only in this way can we make our lives safer and better.
