I know, but it was too good of an opportunity to miss

Basically, without waffling, it's only as strong as it weakest point 😊

What the Concrete or your argument? 😜

Doesn't need to be a solid surface to be fit for purpose. Like I said more an engineering fail. As for the slab/slabs for it to fold in that way as a single slab it would indicate a lack of, or complete absence of any reinforcement, again an engineering fail.

So again the point I am making is the concrete didn't fail the application did. Wonder who, if anyone signed off on the works 😊

OK think of this way. Lay a piece of wood between 2 bricks and jump on it. It breaks. Lay that same piece of wood on a solid surface and nothing happens

So you “Lay “a flat piece of wood on a solid surface” but “Doesn’t need to be a solid surface to be fit for purpose” Which is it? If it doesn’t need to be a solid surface why bring up the piece of wood on a solid surface as opposed to two bricks?
 

Also “Application Failure” WTF is that when it’s at home. The application is fixed, to cover a hole in the road during daytime to carry traffic, a simple application.

Obviously the concrete did fail or else if Wouldn’t be in the hole, so what caused it to fail.

• Overweight Lorry

Maximum Load on Thai Roads is 35 Tonne so the slab / support arrangement SHALL be designed for 35 x 1.5 = 52.5 Tonnes. An 8 wheeler net weight is approx 12 Tonnes so it can carry 23 Tonnes. Density of soil is 1500 g / 1.5 Tonne per SQM so at 35 Tonnes the lorry would be carrying 15.33 SQM. I order for the lorry to exceed the design limit of 52,5 Tonnes it would need to have 27 SQM of soil on it which is 75% more load. It is clear to the naked eye that the lorry is not carrying 175% capacity

• Design Failure

The Slab and it supports we’re not correctly designed for the 52.5 Tonne load. Whether Slab thickness, lack of rebar, insufficient supports or whatever. A Civil Engineer would need to review the design data to ascertain the point of failure.

• Manufacturing Error

Was the concrete used to form the slab subject to a concrete slump test, i.e. Compressive Strength, Water Permeability etc

But if the slab had of been on a solid surface there would still be a solid surface in place when slab removed. How would MEA be able to carry out underground work if a solid surface in the way?

The article clearly states “Concrete Slab” singular if 2 Separate it would have said “SlabS”

But then we are just hypothesising.

Appears the slab didn't fail the road base (support) did.

If that is the case why is slab bent in the middle? would expect slab to be straight if it didn’t fail.

Definitely MEA fault. Even if truck carrying 36 Tonnes the concrete slab should have been designed for 54 Tonnes (1.5 times SWL, Safe Working Load) 

Legal actions will be taken separately between those who issued the commands to create these images and those who shared the images on social media.

So Pattaya Mail will now be charged for sharing the images online?

The “You Came Here” one would be funny if it wasn’t true.

What is the point of alcohol sales stop at midnight?

It  ay work for Thais who buy a bottle and mixers but Farang. Tourist tend to buy drinks one at a time. But the law change is aimed at “Boosting Tourism” and we all know what Anutin thinks of “Dirty Farangs”

This guy was in charge of governments Covid-19 vaccinations so no surprise he has fucked this up.

Shortly after having returned to Mar-a-Lago in 2021, Trump is walking along the beach, feeling pretty dejected about everything. He decides to go for a swim, but ends up going a little too far from the shore, and since he’s in poor condition, he begins to drown.

Suddenly, three teenaged boys spot him from the beach, rush into the water, and rescue him.

Back on the beach, Trump, after regaining his breath, thanks the three for saving his life. “Anything I can do for you guys, name it!” he says. “Bigly! I alone can fix everything!”

The first boy says, “Well, I want to go to West Point, but my grades are lousy.”

“Say no more,” Trump responds. “All those teachers work for the Deep State anyway. I’ll get you a spot at West Point.”

The second boy says, “Well, I can’t find a girlfriend.”

Trump says, “Just grab them by—well, I’ll talk to Melania and hook you up!”

The third boy says, “I want to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery.”

Trump, a bit puzzled, says, “You’re only eighteen! You’ve got your whole life ahead of you! Why are you thinking about your funeral?”

The boy replies, “Because once I go home and tell my father that I just saved you from drowning, he’s going to kill me!”

You may object but you are definitely not appealing.

Defence considered and accepted, free to proceed.

So he didn’t make the donation then, the government did in which pass a mere pittance.

When, say, New Zealand makes Foreign Aid donations how does the NZ Herald report it,  New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs makes donation or Nanaia Mahuta donates money? I assume it is not the later.

Terrible Headline from Thaiger News (No surprise there) making out that an individual is “Mr Jai Dee” whereas in fact he just signed off on transferring Thai taxpayers money.

Typical “Dumbed Down Math (no S as they can’t spell)”  by a Murcia  website.

80 out of 2400 is 3.333%, closer to 3% not 4%, well it was when following the Rules for Rounding Numbers  I was taught at about the age of 7 by a decent education system.

3.33% of 1 Million is 33,000 which is nowhere near “about 40,000” 40,000 is more than 20% greater than 33,000

Rant Over

See my previous posts about PT being in bed with the “Old Guard” to get Takky a free ride.

Not sure what you have against Takky. 

A lot of support and goodwill for Takky has disappeared over the past few months since he is perceived to have manipulated Thai Democracy to his own ends for his return to Thailand.

MFP win election, PT agree to form coalition, senators block it, PT form a coalition with the “Old Guard” form Government and low and behold Takky gets basically a free ride.

I am confused, did Panpri Phahitthanukon make the donation of 3M THB from his own pocket (a fine gesture) or did the government make the donation (fuck all) 

The article doesn’t make it clear if it was a personal donation or a government one.

Jeez - when I think that I used to get staggering drunk and jump on a bike I'd rented, in the middle of the late rush hour...

After being taken to the hospital by the rescuers, the Russian driver will be investigated

Headline states “Russian Driver Crashes with Motorcycle”

From article “The Russian Driver will ne investigated”

Nowhere does the article mention “Alcohol, Drinking or Drunk”

So where did Detective Coss surmise they were “Staggeringly Drunk and jumped on a rented motorcycle” and that Rush Hour is at 1;00 AM?

Like moving to a house next to an airport and complaining about the noise of planes.

I wouldn’t go that far, but there are cockwombles in the UK who move to Villages and complain about the noise of the Church Bells or to the Countryside and complain about the smell of silage and slurry.

Pathetic excuse for police to “Play Halloween” 

Why just not turn up in plain clothes? Don’t tell me Mr Wanchai Saeng-udom knows the identity of every Bangkok plod.

As seen in bars in Texas

Come on Coss, the article did not say vaccinations caused amputations, what it did say is vaccinations could cause complications with diabetes.

The cause of amputation amongst diabetics is either Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) which is the thinning of the arteries which restricts blood flow or Diabetic Neuropathy which is nerve damage.
