I live in a backyard ‘tiny home on wheels' for $725 a month—here's why I'm the happiest I've ever beenBell said the pool deck was not designed to the code that existed in 1981, pointing out areas where the connections between the columns and the deck slab were severely weak.
But, he said, in 1980 there were few if any building departments that would have reviewed the plans and did its own calculations on whether the loads exceeded capacity in the structural design. And the models used by NIST suggest the largest deflections were close to the south wall, the very place witnesses told us they first saw the deck collapse into the garage below.Making matters worse, the deck was modified over the years, with new heavy pavers and sand placed atop the old. And planters not in the original drawings, but added later, added weight and forces that over time can cause problems.
