"Berkeley officials said the building code would have required the balcony to hold at least 60 pounds per square foot. Its exact dimensions were not released, but Grace Kang, a structural engineer and spokesman for Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center at Berkeley, said it looked to her to be 4 by 6 feet, or 24 square feet. That would mean it was supposed to hold at least 1,440 pounds."
Not the 3000+ lbs requirement xo lied about.
13 people were on the balcony, so if the average weight was over 110 pounds, they were in big trouble.
As always, XO: A pretty shitty source of news. |

Many engineering experts have questioned the use of wood rather than steel for such construction, saying that such methods appear more in keeping with developing countries.
