HOW IT WORKS - Skyscraper

[Sthousand]

That fascinates me no end. The weight of the material, compression and tensile strengths. The foundations..the responsibility of the designers, the brave men way the hell up there moving all that steel into position. It is impressive

For those who are curious, this is the IBM Watson Center in Munich. Every time I am nearby, I can’t help but stare at this beauty.

[MikeJackson]

"Every day, up to 10 trucks full of concrete will arrive at the site. It's hoisted up and then used to fill the steel columns. This doesn't only strengthen them, it also makes them fire resistant."


Oh yeah? Did they skip this part when building the original World Trade Center? Explains a lot.
