What Are the Biggest Construction Fails?
Construction memes and jokes are hilarious because they play on well-known facts and some stereotypes about builders. Even though there are many great contractors, some careless workers will still make a name for themselves. Yep, we’re talking about construction fails, and their insane effects on society. Here are a few of the worst construction fails that happened on a large scale!
Tacoma Narrows Bridge
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was constructed in 1940 and was the first cable suspension bridge and the third-largest suspension bridge in the US at that time. Just after its construction, it was found to dangerously buckle and sway during windy conditions. Even with normal winds, the bridge would undulate noticeably. And just four months later, 40mph winds caused it to collapse! Luckily, not a single person was killed, and its collapse influenced how future bridges were built and how engineers approached bridge aerodynamics.
Vdara Hotel and Spa
The Vdara Hotel and Spa was opened in December 2009. Unfortunately, just a year later, this hotel’s construction created problems when it was discovered to be a ‘death ray.’ The hotel was designed with a unique, curved structure that collected solar rays and beamed them to the hotel’s swimming pool area. Guests who were sunbathing ended up with singed hair, and one person’s plastic bag melted! Even though there are funny construction worker memes, these terrifying construction fails will make you rethink the structures around you.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa
Tourists love the Leaning Tower of Pisa because they can take funny pictures with it. But this tower is quite a fantastic construction failure in action. The building gets its weird design from a shoddy foundation built on soil with no load-bearing abilities. At the time of construction, when the tilt was noticed, the upper floors were created to make them taller on one side, resulting in its curved structure.
