		Ronan Point was a 23-storey tower block in Newham, East London, which suffered a fatal structural collapse due to a natural gas explosion 16 May 1968.
		Ronan Point, named after Harry Ronan (a former Chairman of the Housing Committee of the London Borough of Newham), was part of the wave of tower blocks built in the 1960s as cheap, affordable prefabricated housing for inhabitants of the West Ham region of London.
		Ronan grimaced as she passed his set of archaic weapons proudly displayed on the wall by the entrance, and was again baffled why such a scholarly gentleman insisted on collecting such artifacts.

	The Ronan Point Apartment Tower Case
		Ronan Point was the second of nine identical high-rise precast concrete flat plate structures that were erected in London after the war.
		Ronan Point was reinforced with blast angles as part of the reconstruction.
		The authors of the inquiry stated this in their report “…we do not consider that in its present form Ronan Point is an acceptable building, and yet it was designed to comply with the statutory standards contained in the Newham by-laws, which are, in all material respects, identical with current Building Regulations.

	Ronan Point.
		The construction of Ronan Point began on the 25th July 1966 and the building was handed over to Newham Council on the 11th of March 1968, it cost approximately £500,000 to build.
		It was 80 ft by 60ft in area and 210 ft high and consisted of 44 2-bedroom flats and 66 1-bedroomed flats - 5 flats per floor - and new tenants began moving in immediately.
		Either way Ronan Point was pulled down in 1986 and other blocks have now been demolished and many others - even of completely different design - with them.

	From Here To Modernity Buildings - Ronan Point
		Ronan Point was in effect a visible symbol of post-war political rhetoric.
		Ronan Point was rebuilt, but eventually demolished in 1986.
		Politically, Ronan Point also undermined careers of several prominent local and national politicians, as the press began to investigate connections between them and companies which specialised in system-built tower blocks.

	The Lone Tree Reporter - The point of success
		Ronan spots an opening, and the ball is suddenly transformed into a cannonball, and she is the propellant.
		The five-foot, three-inch tall senior point guard dropped more than 1,500 points on the Lady Lions' opponents, and is set to end her days here in the top five of a handful of other statistical categories.
		Ronan was born on Dec. 1, 1987, to Jon and Traci Ronan.

		Ronan sang 3 BZ songs on his first tour because there were fans there that wanted to hear them he had as much right to sing them just as any of the lads could have incorporated them in to a tour if they'd have done one.
		Ronan was pushed to the front by Louis because he knew he was capable enough to carry it off it's proved time and time again that he was right every time Ronan gets up on stage alone.
		Ronan made it not because he was a better singer (although he was the main singer in the band), or that he wrote better songs, or that he was better looking (coz clearly BZ fans tended to favour Stephen).

		Ronan uses the concept of 'measurement process' to define the concept of 'property'.
		Ronan's view does not seem to be contradictory, but it is different from mine.
		I discuss some possible objections to these points in ap- pendix B.) The concepts of 'mass', 'length', 'time', and 'temperature' are verbally undefined in physics because it is not possible to ver- bally define every concept in a field without introducing unde- sirable circularity.

		For many people in the UK, the vision of the high-rise tower block is forever blighted by the disastrous Ronan Point in Newham, east London.
		Ronan Point was what is known as a system built block.
		The scandal that followed Ronan Point, combined with the running down of many public tower blocks due to under investment and the poverty of many of the inhabitants, served to undermine all Modernist building and high-rise construction.

		Ronan wondered how the people would behave if he and the others were walking around without their armor, in plain clothes—he figured that only Gladus with his massive size and scarred face might catch some attention.
		Ronan and the others had already noticed: Gladus wasn't checking for the alien's pulse, he was fumbling around on the Wookiee's face, waiting for something to happen.
		It was obvious to Ronan that Beviin was utmost irritated about their report, but he thought that the older Mandalorian did a great job at staying focused—he wasn't one of Fett's most trusted lieutenants without reason, after all.

		Ronan Point, a 23-story block of flats in the east end of London, was one of more than 3,000 new flats and houses system-built by 1968.
		The collapse of Ronan Point was due to its lack of structural redundancy.
		During the reinforcement efforts made to the structure of the Ronan Point and 600 other similar buildings, poor workmanship was discovered.

	9-11 Research: Ronan Point
		The most commonly cited example of progressive collapse is the collapse of one corner of a 23-story block of flats in Newham in east London, known as Ronan Point.
		At 5:45 AM on May 16, 1968, an explosion in a corner flat of the building's 18th floor blew out sections of the outer wall, causing a chain-reaction collapse of a stack of floor and wall sections on the building's southeast corner.
		The partial progressive collapse of a small section of the Ronan Point building contrasts with the alledged total collapses of the Twin Towers and Building 7.

		The most well known failures in these categories are the Commonwealth Avenue collapse in Boston, the Bailey's Crossroads collapse in Virginia, and the Ronan Point explosion-collapse in London.
		The Ronan Point failure resulted in the addition of an amendment to the British Building Regulations of 1970, later developing into BS Cp 110-1972, which made it mandatory in Britain for buildings of five or more stories to be designed for the possibility of progressive collapse.
		The Ronan Point case stands as one of the few landmark failures that have had a sustained impact on structural thinking, an impact that affected even institutions that traditionally tend to resist change such as the ACI.

	Ronan Point Apartment Tower Collapse and its Effect on Building Codes
		In the early morning hours of May 16, 1968, the occupant of apartment 90 on the 18th floor of the 22-story Ronan Point apartment tower, in London, lit a match to brew her morning cup of tea.
		The resulting gas explosion initiated a partial collapse of the structure that killed four people and injured 17 (one of whom subsequently died).
		Subsequently, building codes in many countries have adopted structural integrity or “robustness” provisions that may be directly traced to the Ronan Point collapse.

		However instead of licking their wounds they upped the ante and three points in as many minutes from a Paul Flynn free, a superb effort from big Seamus Prendergast and a second free from Flynn had the score tied 1-3 to 0-6.
		Cork's Ronan Conway had an opportunity to point in the 60th minute but his effort was wide.
		Cork did goal right at the death as Neil Ronan was on hand to finish past Clinton Hennessy but, really Waterford had the points safely parcelled up and on the way home by this stage.

	Progressive Collapse
		The Ronan Point apartment building collapse in England in 1968 generated substantial interest in general structural integrity for buildings and in the prevention of progressive collapse.
		Many authoritative papers were prepared in the decades that followed that failure and subsequent failures of other buildings, and some building codes and reference standards have attempted to incorporate provisions to address the problem of progressive collapse by enhancing general structural integrity.
		Following the partial collapse of the Ronan Point residential tower block in London, the UK building regulations provided recommendations to guard against disproportionate collapse.

		Ronan Point, Freemasons Estate, Canning Town, 1966-8, built for Newham Borough Council.
		But the 1968 Ronan Point gas explosion - when a corner of a 22-storey tower collapsed killing five people - heralded an anti-tower block backlash.
		In 1972 the Barbican Estate was completed boasting the highest tower in Europe; by the mid-1970s, however, high-rise building came to a halt as doubts were thrown on construction methods and the social consequences of poor quality building.
