The Hyatt Regency disaster began with a connection change, not a sudden steel failure. ⚠️ On July 17, 1981, a design modification changed the load path of the suspended walkways. When the fourth-floor connection had to carry its own weight plus the second walkway’s load, the overloaded joint pulled apart, causing both walkways to collapse and killing 114 people. The most important lesson? A “small” construction change can completely change who carries the weight. Every connection redesign needs a fresh load calculation and an independent check. Would this design change pass review today? 👇 #Engineering #StructuralEngineering #CivilEngineering #EngineeringFailure #ConstructionSafety #DesignReview #StructuralDesign #EngineeringLessons #HyattRegency #SafetyEngineering #LearnFromFailure - @amazeifystore
