The failure points were the same: walls and slabs not tied properly into columns -- that's a roof slab hanging off the building -- cantilevered structures, or structures that were asymmetric, that shook violently and came down, poor building materials, not enough concrete, not enough compression in the blocks, rebar that was smooth, rebar that was exposed to the weather and had rusted away.
Pikat e deshtimit ishin te njejta: muret dhe traret nuk ishin te lidhura ne menyren e duhur me kollonat-- ky eshte nje tra catie qe varet jashte nderteses-- struktura te konsole, ose struktura asimetrike, qe tronditeshin ashper dhe binin, materiale ndertimi te varfra, me beton te pamjaftueshem, me pak ngjeshje neper blloqe, armatura te buta, armatura te cilat ishin te ekspozuara ndaj kohes dhe ishin ndryshkur.
