Engineering Design and Research L5 – Safety ReviewSafety VideoSafety test

•OBJECTIVE : Safety

•DRILL: Identify three important safety rules to follow while working in the Technology Lab

Page 31: Engineering Design and Research

How many of the following rules did we get?

• When working around machines with moving and/or spinning parts be sure to secure dangling jewelry, long hair, loose clothing, and remove accessories that might get caught.

• When working with equipment focus on what you are doing. Do not speak to people operating machines.

• Stay out of machines ‘Safety Zone’ (3 foot perimeter) if you are not directly involved in operation.

• Immediately report all accidents/ injuries to instructor.

• Report any ‘unsafe’ conditions to instructor• Use tools / equipment only as directed and after

instruction• Do not carry hand tools etc. in your pockets

Page 32: Engineering Design and Research

A few more important safety items• Tools for cutting should be sharp…Dull

tools cause injuries• Wear safety glasses• Return tools and equipment to proper

location as soon as you are finished using it!

• Do not carry long stock by balancing it in center.

• Wear an apron to protect / secure clothing• Do not put sharp tools or hot items near

neighbors, face, or handle carelessly.• Do not use electrical tools or items in such

a way that is likely to cause shock.• Always leave class with same number of

body parts that you entered with.

Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel

Walkway Collapse

Background

The Hyatt Regency Hotel was built in Kansas City, Missouri in 1978. This hotel consisted of a 40-story hotel tower and conference facilities,

which were connected by an open concept atrium. Inside the atrium, there were three walkways that connected the hotel to the

conference facilities on the second, third, and fourth floors. The atrium was 145 feet long, 117

feet wide and 50 feet high.

July 17, 1981

• Approximately 2000 People Came for a Dance Competition

• At 7:05 pm a large crack was heard and two walkways collapsed

•Leaving 114 Dead and Left over 200 injured

Page 43: Engineering Design and Research

Gillum-Colaco International Inc. (G.C.E. Inc.)

Proposed Design for the Walkways

• wide flange beams were to be used on either side of the walkway which was hung from a box beam

• a clip angle was welded to the top of the box beam which connected to the flange beams with bolts

• one end of the walkway was welded to a fixed plate while the other end was supported by a sliding bearing

• each box beam of the walkway was supported by a washer and nut which was threaded onto the supporting rod

Page 44: Engineering Design and Research

Proposed Design

Page 45: Engineering Design and Research

The Revised Design

• one end of each support rod was attached to the atrium’s roof cross beams

• the bottom end went through the box beam where a washer and nut were threaded on

• the second rod was attached to the box beam 4" from the first rod

• additional rods suspended down to support the other levels in a similar manner

Kansas City Hyatt Regency HotelWalkway Collapse

Timeline

The project began in 1976 with Gillum-Colaco International Inc. (G.C.E. Inc.) as the consulting structural engineering firm. They were contracted in 1978. The construction on the hotel began in

the spring of 1978. In December of 1978, Havens Steel Company entered the contract to fabricate and erect the atrium. The

following February, Havens changed the design of the connection for the second and fourth floor walkways from a single to a double rod. During construction in October 1979, part of the atrium roof collapsed and an inspection team was brought in to investigate

the collapse. G.C.E. vowed to review all the steel connections in the atrium. In July 1980, the hotel was open for business. On July 17, 1981 at 7:05 p.m., a loud crack was heard as the second and

fourth floor walkways came crashing down to the ground level. There were about 2000 people gathered in the atrium for a dance contest. After the collapse, 114 people were dead and left more

than 200 were injured.

Page 51: Engineering Design and Research

Kansas City Hyatt Regency HotelWalkway Collapse

Main Reasons for Collapse

The failure of the Hyatt Regency walkway was a combination of things. The most important cause was the design in the walkways.

The proposed design of the walkways was:

A wide flange beams that was used on either side of the walkway which hung from a box beam.

A clip angle that was welded to the top of the box beam which connected the flange beams with bolts.

One end of the walkway was welded to a fixed plate, whereas the other end was supported by a sliding bearing

Each box beam of the walkway was supported by a washer and nut which was threaded onto the supporting rod.

Due to disputes between G.C.E. and Havens, the design changed from a single to a double hanger rod, simply because Havens did not want to thread the

entire rod in order to install the washer and nut.

Page 52: Engineering Design and Research

Kansas City Hyatt Regency HotelWalkway Collapse

The actual design consisted of:

One end of each support rod was attached to the atrium's roof cross beams The bottom end of the rod went through the box beam where a washer and nut

were threaded on The second rod was attached to the box beam four inches from the first rod

Additional rods were suspended down to support the second level in a similar manner

Due to the addition of another rod, the load on the nut connecting the fourth floor segment was increased. The original load for each hangar rod was to be

90kN, but the alteration increased the load to 181kN. The box beams were welded horizontally and therefore could not hold the weight of two walkways. During the collapse, the box beam split and the bottom rod pulled through the

box beam resulting in the collapse.

Another problem was the lack of communication between G.C.E. and Havens. The drawing prepared by G.C.E. were only preliminary sketches that Havens

interpreted to be the finalized drawings. Another large error was G.C.E.'s failure to review the final design which would have allowed them to catch the error in

increasing the load on the connections.

Page 53: Engineering Design and Research

Kansas City Hyatt Regency HotelWalkway Collapse

Who's to Blame?

An investigation took place to determine the exact cause of the accident and who was responsible for the accident. The investigation determined that the

flaw was contained in the design and the construction techniques were not at fault.The construction was sound according to the imperfect design. G.C.E was

credited with the complete fault of the collapse of the walkways.These conclusions were arrived at by conducting an extensive investigation of the walkways. First, they determined how the walkways collapsed. The fourth floor collapsed first, directly onto the second floor, which in turn caused it to

collapse. It was also determined that the design prints had been changed with G.C.E. approval. The investigation found out that both designs of the walkways were well below the required safety stress required by the Kansas City Building

Code.

The engineers at G.C.E. were found of gross negligence, misconduct and unprofessional conduct in the practice of engineering. Consequently, the

engineers lost their licenses and many supporting firms went bankrupt. The results proved that engineers are held responsible for the public's safety in the design of their projects and must be held accountable if anything goes wrong.

• Define the Problem• Brainstorm Possible Solutions• Research and Generate Ideas

• Identify Criteria and Constraints• Explore Possibilities• Select an Approach• Develop a Design

• Construct a Prototype• Test the Design

• Refine the Design• Manufacture Final Product

• Communicate Results

Page 76: Engineering Design and Research

For cases dealing with design: consider the importance of a product, its viability, its marketability, and its substitutability from a managerial as well as engineering perspective. The following questions should be addressed in these cases.

-- Is this product essential?-- Is designing, manufacturing or marketing this product this way

the only option?-- What are the economic, political and ethical side effects of this

product?-- What are the environmental side effects of this product?-- What tradeoffs were made between economical, ethical, political

orenvironmental issues?-- Is there another viable approach to this design that would more

effectivelyaddress the resulting political, ethical, and economic issues?
