a massive disaster prevented by a college student’s question

(1)Le Mezzo: William J. Le Messurier is a very successful architect, structural engineer
(2)I was in charge of the structural design of the Citicorp building project in Manhattan, ordered by Citicorp
(3)The building will be completed in 1977
(4)At first glance, it was the seventh tallest building in the world at the time
(5)It was a massive project that cost $17.5 billion in total construction
(6)In 1978, a year after the completion of the Citicorp building
(7)Hurtley, an undergraduate at the University of New Jersey who chose this unusual building as the subject of his undergraduate thesis, said
(8)While investigating the building, I get a question and call Mezzo to ask him a question
(9)Hello, Ms. Mezzo
(10)The building looks very unique
(11)How did you take into account the wind load of the wind blowing through the corners of the building
(12)That’s a good question because you’re an undergraduate
(13)You’re a kid who doesn’t know the building standards because you haven’t done it before
(14)The building is properly constructed in compliance with current building standards
(15)The effects of wind and wind on the corners are not covered by the building regulations
(16)Thank you for your answer Good bye!
(17)But I think it’s important to think about health
(18)I have to go to a lecture with Harvard MIT, but it would be fun to talk about this as a whole. lol
(19)I have to emphasize the importance of my own customs
(20)Let’s spin the bill

(1)- calculation result
(2)If the wind blows at the corner of the building you built, the expected deformation is 40
(3)Increased lol
(4)Oh my! I didn’t think of this
(5)But we’ve got a spare design margin and a vibration attenuator in the building, so it’s gonna be okay
(6)Hey, it’s a contractor. It’s built like I designed it, right
(7)Yes, I’m a construction worker. I built it as you planned
(8)But I think it’s too sturdy, so I changed it a little bit by changing the site
(9)What
(10)The steel connection that provides wind resistance was a welding bonding method in the original design, but you were high-performance and expensive, so I just changed it to a bolt bondingRadish
(11)No, she didn’t even ask me, the designer, to confirm it
(12)If you get approval for every little change like that, you can’t get the air right
(13)Then let’s do a bolt-junctioning disaster simulation again
(14)The water you’ve dried is a storm that will occur once every 55 years at the start of the earthquake reduction plant
(15)Ansu Hanjunim
(16)But if you don’t think about it, there will be a single storm in 16 years
(17)(Laughing) The harpoon
(18)That means the building breaks and collapses

(1)corresponding vibration attenuation device
(2)If it’s a storm, a typhoon, it’s a power outage
(3)- A famous incident in which the safety functions were not functioning due to a power outage –
(4)That’s not supposed to happen. What should I do? What can I do
(5)A is pretending not to know. It wasn’t even in the building standards anyway
(6)Blame others for revealing the truth
(7)I’m going to reveal the truth and take responsibility
(8)These three things may have to go to the Han River due to the bankruptcy of the lawsuit;;
(9)Oh, I need to finish my pistol
(10)In fact, he even felt suicidal due to stress
(11)Yes, I made up my mind!
(12)Money’s the problem when people are going to die!
(13)President of Citibank Liston
(14)It’s Liston
(15)The wind in your company building might break
(16)There was something I couldn’t take care of in the design
(17)We need to reinforce the most vulnerable parts
(18)We’ll be responsible for all the expenses
(19)You’re the first person to be so honest with me since I became president
(20)No, after you move in, you can do it big and small
(21)Thank you for letting me know and we’ll pay for it, no matter who pays for it later
(22)If someone says, “Let’s start with the repair.”
(23)We’ll help you to have such honest and courageous people!
(24)Leslie Robertson, who designed the World Trade Center, contributesEmergency Response Committee Support Division
(25)I’m going to open an office in my own space

(1)The construction tool company will participate in the reinforcement method meeting and welding reinforcement work
(2)Minneapolis MTS System, which designed and manufactured vibration reduction devices, supports performance and maintenance inspections during construction
(3)The Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island informed wind direction and wind speed four times a day
(4)The U.S. Red Cross worked with New York City and the New York Police to establish evacuation plans and temporary shelter operations in the event of a typhoon
(5)As you can see in the New York City Construction Bureau briefing, there’s a risk that a strong typhoon could break the building
(6)It’s my fault.
(7)We’re going to reinforce it as soon as possible
(8)Wow, I’m so touched that there are so many honest peopleOur city’s construction bureau will arrange and supply the high-skilled welders needed for the reinforcement workPlease let me know if you need anything for the repair work
(9)I can’t believe humans are so honest and cooperative. Hurricanes are going to New York
(10)I’ll go to the Atlantic without losing
(11)There were problems, but with everyone’s cooperation, we can quickly start reinforcement work
(12)became
(13)It was carried out throughout the week as a reinforcement pipeon one’s back
(14)With this reinforcement work, Citicorpville will be able to withstand the once-in-a-700 typhoon
(15)It’s here
(16)Mr. Chairman, I’m done with the reinforcement
(17)If you give me the bill, our design office will pay for it

(1)I don’t have time to sign up for a penny like this
(2)Citicorp did not file a lawsuit against Mezzo, and most of the reinforcement costs were paid for themselves
(3)His frank and responsible conduct earned him a rather high reputationHe died at the age of 81 from the aftereffects of a fall accident in June 2007
(4)This anecdote was published in the New Yorker in 1995 and made public
