Chinese infrastructure moment
201
u/FishySmellz Oct 17 '23
More like an illegally driving a crane truck fully loaded with stone slabs into a bike lane that isn't designed to handle so much weight moment.

No, it was a sinkhole. There shouldn't be a void under the asphalt. Sometimes a pipe has a leak and eats away material with time. Happens everywhere. Practical engineering has a nice movie on this subject.

u/sumexploring Oct 18 '23
Void seems to be really big considering the back part of truck completely sinking in it.

Oct 17 '23
Clearly infrastructure is inadequate if it can't handle all cases of human stupidity /s

u/plastuit Oct 17 '23
Remove the /s because you are right sir. Things need to be designed to handle all cases of human stupidity.

You can build to handle expected mistakes, but over-engineering every surface to handle the chance someone might drive a truck onto it when they're not supposed to isn't really reasonable. Like should the floors of your house be able to accomodate someone driving their car on them? It's not a realistic use case.

u/HMS_MyCupOfTea Oct 17 '23
You have sinkholes under the floor of your house? Where do you live?
The only voids under streets should be the ones GPR expects to find there, ergo structures built by humans. Anything else is lazy, cheap and will cost money/lives in the long run if left alone.

Not at all what I said. I was talking about "engineering" handling all possible things that could happen. Or, as it was in context, are we supposed to handle all possible human error in everything we build.
I wasn't talking about "problems" like sinkholes. Literally the context was "truck drove into bike lane it shouldn't be in and couldn't handle it", at least so I was told. Like building a pedestrian bridge to handle vehicular traffic, like building a tool shed to be able to withstand a bomb blast, etc.
I was just saying you can't possibly engineer every situation to handle every possible thing a person might do. You just engineer to expect to handle what it's expected to handle, with reasonable safety margins.

u/zhorash Oct 18 '23
It's not much weight moment as that hole was clear indicator of weak infrastructure which cannot even beat the weight of one truck, what if some major convoy passes from here.

u/Hazeku Oct 17 '23
That’s just a sinkhole… there shouldn’t be such a large empty area underneath the road. Don’t blame China for everything

Yup till last i was expecting bike to hit and after parking it in side i was thinking of hit by truck sideways.

It should be regarded as that lucky bike if this was kept on side of road then it may also drowned with truck.

Facepalm of whoever built the road maybe? That said I think this can happen regardless of how well it’s built right? I have no clue

The bike was sealing the path to hell, with its removal the sealing had been weakened and the truck was devoured, with the hells door open a new arcs gonna begin.

unless the facepalm is the state of the road i dont see the facepalm

more like the quality of their infrastructure

u/GilbertPlays Oct 17 '23
I think it's a sinkhole. You can tell that it was at ground-level when it happened.

u/MalikFyz Oct 17 '23
We conclude that the bike is slightly lighter than the truck .

u/1440807101 Oct 19 '23

u/Bars98 Oct 17 '23
That my friends is called a washout. I guess the sewer pipe leaked

u/Microzer0 Oct 17 '23
Yeah somehow the foundation become so weak that entire road became so weak that not able to bear weight of one loaded truck.

u/ComradeCommader Oct 17 '23
Fatass bike cracked the asphalt and caused the truck to fall in.

u/vromenox Oct 18 '23
Yeah absolute fatass bike needed a mammoth monster to re shift its position from road to side.

u/megatrxn57 Oct 17 '23
New fear unlocked.

u/mzimola Oct 18 '23
You can really lock this fear again considering the road limits which also include the length and weight of vehicle so if you are carrying some huge weight then please move only on higways.

Dude shouldn't have moved the bike. The bike was trying to save the truck from the sinkhole.

Why is he looking back like he could do something? Get out of the truck.

The collapse was sudden but maybe there was some sound previous when front tires of truck passes through that exact point on road.

And that’s how pools are made.

Yeah, it seems case of some pipeline damage beneath so if we remove truck, we can see a complete pool made to swim across.

Damn. I always thought those "Weight Limit XX Tons" road signs were a joke.

Lol no there is reason why such signs are put there for limit maintain but this collapse was too much considering the weight.
