Take down buildings they can do without earthquakes.

other older buildings are still standing

Temporary shoring is not designed to be as safe as a building accessible to the public.

American Society of Civil Engineers:

C6.5.1 Applicability

It is not reasonable to require seismic resistance for temporary works where large earthquakes are infrequent or not considered probable.

They're not just weaker because the temporary load is less. They're weaker PER POUND of supporting structure.

It is not for public use, therefore it is not required to be as safe as when it is completed, and FOR public use.

How about concrete is not rated at full strength for a literal month after its poured?

Last week I drove by a building unders construction, maybe 6 floors already built, and shoring column cylinders are still in place at ground level.

Why do you have to talk if you're not an expert? I'm not a civil engineer but I'm at the supervisory level in construction and I know more about this than you. I might not know the calculations for everything but I know the reasons and i know how shit is done. Just stop talking like you know everything.

Address what I wrote instead of strwamanning it

its possible that since this buiolding hadnt been topped out it didnt have this feature yet. i dont know how tall a skyscraper has to be for them to install this but that BKK tower looked pretty high

but iirc the buildings that have pools on the roof swing less because the water splashing around does the same thing

Height and Slenderness: Taller, more slender buildings are more prone to swaying because they have lower natural frequencies and less inherent damping. Buildings over 200 meters (about 656 feet) often start being considered for TMDs, especially if they’re narrow relative to their height, but there’s no universal cutoff.

Location and Seismic Risk: In earthquake-prone areas like Taiwan, Japan, or parts of the U.S. West Coast, buildings are more likely to need TMDs to handle seismic forces. Taipei 101, at 509.2 meters (1,670 feet), is in a region with both typhoons and earthquakes, making its TMD essential.

In practice, TMDs are common in "supertall" buildings—those over 300 meters (984 feet)—like Taipei 101, Burj Al Arab (321 meters), or 111 West 57th Street in New York (435 meters). But they’ve also been used in shorter structures. For example, the ATC Tower at Delhi Airport has a TMD at just 90 meters (295 feet) due to specific vibrational needs. Conversely, some buildings over 200 meters manage without them if their base design (e.g., wider footprint or stiffer core) provides enough stability.

that being said, I looked again at the still pics. you can see thick slabs of concrete all stacked on top of each other. could easily be that they used poured slabs as flooring because it’s cheaper, but it’s also much heavier than basically anything else. if the columns aren’t increased in thickness to compensate, then you can get collapse. reinforced concrete is very resistant to compression (thx to the concrete) and stretching (thanks to the steel rebar), but it is notoriously brittle when subject to swaying forces like an earthquake
