Ursine Catastrophe posted:I have to imagine the latter because I can't imagine them having sufficiently detailed before/after measurements to know "this sidewalk was 2mm higher last night!", vs the above picture of "measuring part of the building against itself where it definitely was supposed to line up before" It depends on their monitoring, but they could be aware of tiny movements of the building against surveyed reference points. Right now they're doing construction next door to my building and I get a report every week about how much my building has moved down to a few mm compared to a bunch of reference points in the area. So far over a couple months my western elevation (facing the work site) has moved about 1/4 inch east and up about half that, but it's trending back toward baseline, so nobody is worried. The measurements trigger an escalation with engineers determining if there's a problem at something like .6 inches movement in any direction or .3 inches per second on the vibration monitor.

The new train station in Hong Kong is such a poo poo show. Besides taking literal cuts in methods of the construction it has subsided so far out of tolerances it's bringing surrounding buildings with it causing massive cracks. Don't be a Grover building, build the best foundations.

Little late to the tower collapsing chat but there is a fascinating article about the citicorp tower in NY https://people.duke.edu/~hpgavin/cee421/citicorp1.htm A engineering student was writing a paper about the 59-story building and interviewed the structural engineer who designed it. Some claims made by the students professor caused him to re-run some calculations which led him to realize he only accounted for perpendicular winds. Essentially this led to a plan in which a team of meterologists would monitor forecasted winds and implement a plan between the NYC authorities and Red Cross for the evacuation of the building and surrounding area if the wind threshold was to be exceeded while welders went in at night to strengthen joints. They worked at night and the public had no real idea. quote:The weakest joint, he discovered, was at the building's thirtieth floor; if that one gave way, catastrophic failure of the whole structure would follow. Next, he took New York City weather records provided by Alan Davenport and calculated the probability of a storm severe enough to tear that joint apart. His figures told him that such an event had a statistical probability of occurring as often as once every sixteen years--what meteorologists call a sixteen-year storm.

Apparently you could also see it from some parts of New Jersey too, like a weird spot by the horizon that was noticible flickering green for some reason.

The fact that whatever was arcing went on for more than a second means that some people are going to have a very bad night. Relays are set up to stop some thing like that in 5-8 cycles (at 60Hz, .1 seconds). Since backup relaying didn’t get it in a handful of seconds, it is likely the main transformer from a generator. For whatever reason, the generator didn’t trip offline from the fault. The transformer is definitely toast, possibly damage to the generator as well.

The blue and orange spots are unreal! Just looking at it, the whole thing is bright white, but then color appears when the camera is pointed away. I just see the tower, I can't see what's letting out the magic smoke.
