What causes buildings to collapse?
Mumbai: A building, Laxmi Chhaya now lies in a heap of rubble taking many lives down with it, but till Wednesday it was like most other buildings in Mumbai, with minor renovations- a constant part of the building’s life.Even simple common renovations that can be done to a building including extending the balcony, adding heavy iron grills and changing pipes in the kitchen can add load to the buildings.
