Challenges with a Roof Collapse: Causation, Subrogation, and Structural Rehabilitation
During the winter of 2011/2012, historic snowfalls occurred throughout several parts of Alaska. This paper deals with a building complex where a part of the roof structure catastrophically collapsed due to snow. The collapse caused not only considerable damage to the structure below, but created a series of questions regarding the causation of the collapse, the original design of the roof and the appropriate approach to rebuild the structure. As a result of the roof collapse, there were some significant challenges regarding the appropriate path for rebuilding. What requirements and obligations were there regarding the adjacent roof and would that roof need to be brought up to current code? What other structural requirements would be needed regarding the rest of the building complex? How would the insurance company and the building owner come to an agreement as to the proper course of action? The solution included close interaction and meetings among the structural experts and the local building official to provide direction where the local building code was vague and ambiguous.
