As the search for survivors drags on for the fifth day on Wednesday, Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt reported that the rescue operation at the site of the collapsed State Audit Office ( SAO ) building continued.
According to him, rescue go hand in hand with healing in this time, which means the target is also on removing large pieces of debris and removing large practical slaps while looking for signs of life.
According to him, about 100 kilograms of cement had been removed as of Monday evening, making approach for the volunteers to provide even though no more victims had been discovered. 14 body had been identified, but they haven’t been recovered.
Large machine” carries threats of collapsing debris,” said Mr. Chadchart. However, we are having conversations with an international team of experts, and I’m willing to take criticism as long as I can make things better.
At a Tuesday conference in Bangkok, Prof. Pennueng Vanichchai, chairman of the Earthquake Research Centre of Thailand, demanded more research into effective problem traces that might lead to new disasters.
There are many of these faults in Southeast Asia, but Myanmar’s are stronger than their neighbors it, he said.
Even though Bangkok is regarded as a low-risk place for temblors, Prof. Pennueng suggested that more emphasis been placed on building earthquake-proof structures.
According to a test used as a high-rise building standard, the collapse final Friday was recorded as occurring at the first of three amounts.
He suggested that money should be allocated to building reinforcement to resist tremors.
He added that this would require 10 % to 20 % of the budget for a new building to be used to strengthen an already-existing one, paying particular attention to the school buildings in Chiang Rai in the North.
According to Prof. Pennueng, vibration receptors have been installed in large buildings, including those at hospitals in Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, to gather data for use in real-time control and a collapse call program.
Bangkok’s Klang Hospital will be the first hospital in the city to sign on to the job.
