According to the post-investigation report, the design value of the permanent load of the roof of the station hall is 1.45kN/m smaller than the actual permanent load, resulting in the bearing capacity and deformation of the roof steel girder, steel girder assembly node, and steel purlin cannot meet the requirements of the current standard for structural safety, and it is only in an unstable state that may collapse at any time under the action of its own weight, and the collapse eventually occurs due to the construction of the roof waterproof layer.
