Alleged corrosion of structural steel in the concrete columns? That's a comforting thought. With further corrosion, will this building need to be retrofitted with additional reinforcement or simply deconstructed to protect adjacent properties (domino effect of cascading structures)?
Per CNN "The new lawsuit meanwhile claims that the tower’s facade is “plagued with thousands of severe cracks, spalling, and other forms of deterioration,” including a 10-inch-deep crack in the building’s core. As well as causing flooding, the damage has corroded some of the steel in the tower’s reinforced concrete columns, the complaint alleges."
