KNS, 1 year + nia can have such catastrophic failure. 9 hours ago, Fcw75 said: I was crazy about basketball during my sec school days and I could dunk. That time the structure was very sturdy and the backboard was wood. No way of it collapsing like this. The rims at Eunos where I stayed was a double rimmed and smaller than other courts. like this huh ?? mai HAO LIAN leh Edited July 28, 2021 by Othello 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the flooring, newly coat acylic flooring and the board looks new to me. If 80's ones, the flooring are cement. I believe that due to the space constrain, it was designed this way. Just behind it is a fencing so close by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it’s good to learn the different types of posts …….. my primary school time it was just a solitary pole with a hoop sticking out ( similar to a fishing pole with cut out net ) just sticking out maybe 1 feet only ) , later on came a big one like a Trojan horse type with wheels which can lock or put a wedge ( sand bags ) between the wheels to prevent it moving …….. don’t see them around this days as back then it freed up the school assembly area for multi purpose facilities 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic July 28, 2021 Share July 28, 2021 (edited) I remembered when I was playing basketball as a teen the structure although the two big diameter legs are made from steel pipes which they are not hollowed. I think they were concrete filled to a certain height. Those are in the CC or community centers, they are somehow better built. Even if they were rusted they are still held up by the concrete. What we see from the pictures the concrete is filled inside the pipe only to the ground level probably. It should be filled higher.

Looking at the total weight of the top structures the pipes are carrying, at least 12" diameter steel pipes or 10" square steel hollow tube. At the base, there should be a cement skirting of 2" height by 1" thick surrounding the base to prevent water in contact with the steel pipe so as to prevent corrosion of the base.

Blueray Hypersonic July 28, 2021 Share July 28, 2021 2 scenarios to ponder before we start saying its all design and structure fault. 1. structure simply fell on boy when he was below 2. structure fell on boy who hung onto the structure there is a difference in liability. looks likely that this case is scenario 2 ?
