Useful for a bike lane, at least. Wouldn't want to try and use it in an icy winter, though.

In a suburb of Copenhagen I visited they had channel iron running up one side of the stairs to push your bike up. I think that's probably a better way to do it rather than cutting a huge swath out of the middle.

Is that something where you'd see signs for a while or does it just one day fall apart with no warning?

Looking at the windows I'd guess it is the brick facade pulling away from the structural breezeblock walls dues to Crappy Construction.

Someone cheaping out on the $1 fasteners to hold the brick facade in place. Or more likely some laborer forgot to place them and it was load bearing gravity .quote:As the veneer goes up, the brick structure is anchored to the sheathing with metal wall ties, or brick anchors. These are commonly L-shaped pieces of corrugated metal nailed through the sheathing and into the wall studs. Anchors are installed every four courses and spaced every 2 feet apart horizontally. Actually it looks like the whole wall is buckled outwards and not just a failure of the facade so maybe some idiots dropped a pallet of roof tiles on the roof and the walls buckled out. cowofwar fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Nov 10, 2020 |

That is literally a house of cards right now, at least the outside skin of the wall. You could have the wrong errant breeze or dig pissing in the wrong spot and it will come down.

They wouldn't be little. You'd see cracks running continuous patterns through mortar around bricks in roughly some kind of line(s) of where the stress or failure is happening.

Actually, they can slump quite a bit before they fail, if they're facades. I dealt with quite a few of them in Philadelphia over the years. Most of the rowhomes are frame, with a high percentage being balloon, with a brick or sandstone facade. Most homeowners don't notice until it starts leaking into the home when it rains. Other just fail spectacularly right onto the sidewalk, and it's miraculous no one has died under an avalanche of brick. Way back when, they used cut nails and cleats; I have had newer ones that in fact failed to install the strips. There was one on South Broad St. that had 2x8 props set up to retain it for years.
