This chapter presents the forensic investigations conducted after the partial collapse of the jetty of the 2E terminal at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport near Paris that occurred in May 2004. The primary failure mechanism decided upon by the experts is the punching of the shell caused by steel struts in conjunction with the bending rupture of one of the solid arch elements of the shell. This mechanism was then followed by a shift of the shell from its supports and its fall on the tarmac. After a detailed description of this complex structure, the chapter relates the results of the investigations conducted by the administrative commission set up by the Transportation Ministry, the different courts of law, and SETEC engineering company. It then draws the lessons learnt from the collapse and presents the reconstruction of the new jetty opened in the spring of 2008. |
