Clemson Floor Collapse
In order to make a precise investigation on the floor collapse, there needs to be more information on the event. We need to examine the original plans (Specs), the occupancy limit, and what was the room used for. These factors will help us understand if the floor was able to resist the load applied during the party. There is also need to be an analysis of the structure and check for previous damages.
According to the case, the party was held in a meeting room. Is more likely that the load applied to the floor in the room was not meant to hold 30 people jumping around. I believe that the most of the responsibility falls on the owner for not enforcing the rules and regulations of the room.
