Commissioners learned last year that cracks had formed in the concrete. Now they’re learning of more issues, based on a peer review report released this week.

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls in building construction typically have openings for doors, windows, and transportation access, requiring the inclusion of coupling beams to preserve structural ...
