Degenkolb Engineers.
We looked at a group of 3 and 4 story apartment buildings in L’Aquila, 2 of which collapsed at the first floor.
There were 6 or 7 of the same construction, vintage and plan but only the 2 reached the point of collapse. See photos below of this dramatic failure. (Photos by Holly Razzano)
