Now We Know. A Big Earthquake can hit Cebu. How safe are those condominium units being sold HERE??

[immersiondepth]

i think the real concern here is about the quality of building constructions here in PI, may it be condos or just ordinary bungalows...

although yea, i believe there are always risks in buying condo units...fire, earthquake, bombs, theft...and buyers should consider those before thinking of buying a unit...

sometimes what's shown in the media is exaggeration of actual facts....but we can never tell.

here are some facts:

Budget Builder building vs Antonio's (in mambaling area near CITU)
> Budget Builder Building is an old building and has withstand a few major earthquake in a couple of decades.
> Antonio's building also collapse, it's a relatively new building.

In layman terms we can say:
> Budget Builder's building is old that's why it collapse
> Antonio's on the other hand is due to poor engineering/sub standard materials

do you think the real reason is the age of the building and poor engineering? It has something to do wit the frequency and resonance of the materials in the building. Civil engineers and those who studied "Strength of Materials" can answer this quite easily.

have a condo being rented... So far no damage... But when the power was shut off for safety reasons - no elevators also...
Mine is on d 7th floor.... gud luck on d stairs... Hehehe...

I heard sa horizons 101 pakapin parachute... Joke...

Seriously, the elevator thing is one of d many reasons why im not living in a condo...
Moreover, the shaking is more amplified the higher you go...

as based sa akong nabasahan sa ssc forum, kanang mga condo nga dagko na like anang h101, lisud na gub.on ug linog.
kanang mga medium rise nga building ra tingali ang dali kaayo because of the foundation? basta mao ra na ako nabasahan. so far wala may damage ang h101 ug ang crown regency. the more nga taas ang building the more nga ngita paagi ang mga engineers ata para quake proof

Dli ma compare ang gitukod na building sa human na.... Wla gyd damage ang 101 kay wla ga puyo wala pa na tiwas.... Ang crown molihok man gani na wla linog.... Will just hope in the next few years... Normal critical kaau tah sa ato buildings kay dli tah anad ani na calamidad
