responsible for maintaining the vertical stability of the building under the various loads. The structural frame of WTC 7 was designed to distribute the weight of the building and resist wind loads by including columns‚ floor assemblies‚ spandrel beams‚ girders‚ and transfer elements. The WTC 7 consisted of four tiers‚ the lowest floors contained the Con Edison substation. From the 7th to the 47th floor WTC 7

VACATION ATTACTMENT ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE I had my vacation with a construction firm called consar limited; it has its head office in Kumasi. I was taken to a site on the K.N.U.S.T. campus‚ on this site; the company is building nine storey GUSS hostel buildings. This is the first phase of the project of thirteen storey building project. This project will cover an estimated six years of construction. This first phase is going to take about four years for completion. Every storey has at

second floor bridge‚ with the third floor walkway set off to the side several meters away from the other two. Construction issues led to a subtle but flawed design change that doubled the load on the connection between the fourth floor walkway support beams and the tie rods carrying the weight of the second floor walkway. This new design could barely handle the dead load weight of the structure itself‚ much less the weight of the spectators standing on it. The connection failed and both walkways crashed
