The article “Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse” brought attention to a famous case of structural design and engineering failure, analyzed the story of the design and construction of the building and examined the causes of the collapse. accident that occurred.The incidentDuring a party in the lobby of a Hyatt Regency hotel located in Kansas City, Missouri, on the night of July 17, 1981, two suspended walkways collapsed after the connections that held them to the ceiling. The box beams separated from the ceiling rods because the beams that rested on the nuts and washers of the support rods were poorly shaped and could not support the added weight of the partygoers. The fourth floor walkway fell first and crashed into the second floor walkway on the way down, dragging it toward the crowded main atrium below. Fortunately, the third floor walkway had been built away from the other two to compensate for them, so it remained connected and prevented additional debris from further injuring hotel guests. However, this incident is still considered one of America's "most devastating events"....
