The post-collapse investigations indicated that the changed threaded rod connections in the upper skywalk failed first and that skywalk collapsed on the lower skywalk, and together they fell on the floor of the atrium. The investigations also revealed that the original design of the failed connections was barely sufficient to carry the weight (i.e., dead load) of the skywalks. The changed design of the connection in the upper skywalk could carry barely half of the design load.

Thank you!
Good Course
Good information provided as to the errors made
Well presented course but probably longer than it needed to be. There was a lot of background material that didn’t seem entirely relevant.
The presenter was excellent and knowledgeable.
Very informative. Presented well at a good pace for understanding.
Good seminar
Excellent presentation. Dr. Astaneh prepares all of his webinars very thoroughly and they are extremely informative.
Enjoyable, clearly presented. Images of failure could be shown with schematics of analysis to be better understood.
Thorough discussion of the incident and all of the mistakes that led to the tragedy
Informative
Dr Astaneh:
I have benefited greatly from your seminars in the past and this one was particularly WONDERFUL!
For your information, I found it challenging to get into the seminar today based on the website and the emails that I received. I am mentioning this to you so that you communicate strongly to your provider that some of your students may be struggling to get in on time because of the way that the provider is handling the business details. I would be happy to talk to them regarding the problems I had, to make sure that I am more successful in getting into the seminars in the future and to possibly give the provider some useful advice for changes to their user interface that they might want to consider. It may be that all my problems were totally my fault, but it would useful to me to find out what I did wrong.
Thank you again for a GREAT experience.

Good course.
As a Civil Engineer with a strong structural background I found the content to be very interesting and well presented
It was a very informative course that serves as a reminder to think about the public’s health, safety and welfare and that it must be held paramount.
