Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation, Chapter 8, Recommendations, item (12)
Ronan Point should be strengthened, in particular by making the joints tougher and more continuous, so that local damage to the load-bearing walls from whatever cause will not lead to progressive collapse; and so that the building is capable of safely withstanding the maximum wind forces which it is likely to experience during its lifetime (paragraphs 131 and 145).
