Parker, Dave
Cause and effect - 2005 - New Civil Engineer (1584) 7 July 2005, 19-20(2) .
Discusses the recommendations of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) investigation into the collapse of the World Trade Center. Recommendations include future codes to consider that traumatic events such as bomb blasts and gas explosions might take place elswhere other than on the ground level and enhanced fire resistance. Core design is also likely to undergo major changes as a result of several NIST recommendations. Includes an analysis of the likely causes of the Twin Towers' collapse.
