KYIV MISSILE STRIKE | building structure and repair

On the 2nd day of the Ukraine invasion this 26-story apartment tower remained standing even with bomb crater cut in its corner. How was this possible? How much structure was lost? This video investigates these questions and illustrates the damage to the structure. With 3d animation the structural scheme of the tower is unwrapped. The damage was modelled on video and photos of the strike. I also illustrate how a repair of the of the building could be done. The owners are currently undertaking a repair.
I chose this example because of the extensive imagery available.
Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine has destroyed countless buildings. This is the harrowing story of but one of countless buildings attacked in this brutal illegal war.
The tower was in west Kiyv in the Solom'yans'kyi district 6a Lobanovsy Street, Солом'янський район 5km from the center.
This missile strike was friendly fire. A BUK-m1 malfunctioned while trying to shoot down the Russian warplanes over Kiev.
The structure is reinforced concrete. This building was stronger because it did not have cars which allowed for short floor spans and more columns. The building is about 10 years old.

After watching enough videos of building failures due to under-engineering, incompetence, and greed, it is good to see a building that preformed well under difficult circumstances because it was built with good redundancies.

Absolutely brilliant. Wonderful animation and excellent script. Thank you! I must say it is refreshing to see a building stand up to a direct hit after focusing for a year on the Florida condo that fell down.

Thanks Maud. There are many buildings in Ukraine which have survived an almighty onslaught. Much like the Ukrainian people who have remained standing in spite of the most horrific onslaught. And they are making the world proud.

Amazingly this building is already under repair. The resilience of the Ukrainians is truly inspirational !! To address the friendly fire issue. I am very pro Ukraine - strongly anti Russia. My aim is to report accurately. The evidence points to this being an unfortunate misfire. I am in no way trying to put Ukraine in a bad light by highlighting this. The missile came from direction where there were no Russian troops. It came from SW direction of the Sikorsky Airport. The evidence points to Ukraine missile gone wrong. From the white smoke trail this looks like an old BUK anti aircraft missile (1980's) which malfunctioned. It was only the 3rd day of the war with mass confusion. If there is firm evidence confirming this was a Russian fired missile I can clip out the wording claiming it was fired by Ukraine.

I'm from Ukraine, and when I saw your statement about friendly fire it was a surprising fact for me. Actually, nobody in Ukraine was talking about who was responsible for the hit. Everyone in Ukraine who has seen the video, thought it was done by russia, and it is not surprising due to the lack of information. Our media will not talk about mistakes until the war is over. But I think it is important to be honest about all stuff going on in our country. Because the main reason of the war is a total lie at the state level in Russia. Thank you for the great work done on this video, and for honesty as well.

Doesn’t matter who shot that rocket. If there was no war there would be no rocket so the fault is 100% on Russia. Just like when a rocket fell in Poland and killed two Poles.

@michaelimbesi2314 11 ай бұрын

I think you’re actually wrong about that. It’s a little hard to tell, but looking at the freeze frame, the missile looks a bit too small to be a surface-to-air missile. Surface launched missiles are much larger than air-launched missiles because they need a much bigger rocket motor to get up to altitude and gain sufficient speed to run down a supersonic aircraft.

I've always thought that beams are required to distribute loads onto all/existing columns/pillars in high rise buildings... and from what I can see this building wasn't constructed with beams on each floor, with the floor slab transferring the excess loads onto available columns/pillars instead...

@Mike-Bell Жыл бұрын

Beams are a good idea but not a necessity. In fact they get in the way, gobble up space and slow down construction. So building teams avoid them if they can. And this building stayed up without them. But this building had small spans where beams would be unusual. .

Awesome video, but did you really think the building would collapse with only that damage? That's a tough building. I could understand if the damage went deeper or if the strike was maybe lower.

@Mike-Bell Жыл бұрын

Losing four primary columns is a major blow to a structure and beyond the limits of what the engineers would likely have designed for. Higher up in a structure the rebar steel is reduced with reduced strength so there certainly is some luck that kept the structure standing. But you are right it was a tough building.

@ShadowStormlq5mwdasd Жыл бұрын

So I wonder in what programs you do these videos and building layouts? Is it blander or something else?

@Mike-Bell Жыл бұрын

The modeling and animation is done in Blender. The building is reconstructed from google maps measurements and from foto and video plus my knowledge as an architect of how buildings are constituted and sized. If I have plans great but can also make a pretty accurate building from fotos and from all the other clues.

There no russian rockets with big enough range and speed over M=2 at low altitude. It was ukrinian air defence missile. For civilians they are much more dangerous, than russian cruise missiles guided mostly to unmaned or military objects.

There was another 20+ story building which got hit by cruise missile. This time it was hit at ground level and few columns were also totally destroyed. I couldn’t find any information about it but I think President Zelensky once visited reconstruction site as I recognized the site. Anyone has more info on this?

@RBMK5000 Жыл бұрын

The reason why building survived lies in the missile type. It was missguided ukrainian SAM (surface to air) missile. So, missguided anti-aircraft missile, probably from BUK system. Rocket engine in missile artillery works for just an fraction of a second. Here we can see smoke tail, so engine was still runing, typical for SAM. On the other hand, surface to land missiles, extinguish their engine during the diving part and have far heavier warhead. If you are interesting in structure, statics, i can suggest you far more interesting case, done by NATO, building survived several TOMAHAWKS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U%C5%A1%C4%87e_Towers

Informative video, but absolutely unfounded initial data. It wasn`t russian bomb or missile guided to hospital, it was ukainian air defense missile! It has warhead of different type.

If you listen to the whole video you will hear me explain it was a Ukrainian BUK anti aircraft missile which malfunctioned with small warhead.

@michaelimbesi2314 11 ай бұрын

This seems to me to be a typical case of Russia doing a Russia. They tried to commit a war crime (deliberately attacking a hospital) but their tech was too shitty so they missed and hit an apartment instead.

@Mike-Bell Жыл бұрын

Hi Adrian. I read that Ukraine had admitted it was one of their BUK anti-aircraft missiles fired from the close by airport but now I cant find the report. The smoke trail confirms it is a rocket powered missile and not a cruise missile. The missile approached from the SW direction which is not where the Russians where at the time. I will search some more for the report and post it here.

Is it confirmed that the missile malfunctioned? It couldve been tracking an aircraft that was defending by diving. Nonetheless it was clearly still Moscows fault, this missile had only had to be fired because of aggressors. (stateing the obvious i guess)
