Re: House Collapsed into the Water
Many houses in PP are floating on a layer of dirt several metres thick. Under that is just a slurry of mud and water. I remember a few years ago watching them drive long concrete piles for a building at Wat Phnom ,[ the radio station building ]. Once the piles were a couple of metres into the ground , they just disappeared into the slurry , under their own weight.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

That's not how it works,,,, throw a stone into a pond of water and you will see how the waves will rock the countryside up and down like a rollercoaster ride.bolueeleh wrote:good thing if its a seismic zone too, only mud and slurry, absorb all the seismic energyfrank lee bent wrote:dam, that is near me.
