 What you see here is a classic example of poor column detailing & construction practices ❌.



This failure occurred due to:

🔴 Insufficient transverse reinforcement (stirrups) – no confinement to hold the core concrete.

🔴 Corroded rebars – lack of proper cover & durability measures.

🔴 Weak concrete quality – segregation, honeycombing & poor compaction.

🔴 Improper load transfer – column unable to withstand applied forces.
