According to him, the remaining hallway will experience overstretch and excessive deformation. The remaining hallway must be checked and should not be left alone. "It can continue. It attracts each other," he said.
Yuskar said the collapsed hallway will also have an impact on other buildings around it. But the impact does not affect the entire building. "Only to the near ones."
If the management wants to keep using the remaining hallway, building construction should be fixed. They can use columns or buffers for the remaining hallway. "Because, usually if collapsed, other parts will also collapse too, especially to other buildings," he said.
