oops - sorry BuJ - I misinterpreted your email - I thought that they were taken before the wobbles were corrected!
I like the image - and I was trying to figure out why it wobbled when it had the X-bracing! Goes to show that for a non-engineer, I could still work out the structural pinciples!
correction! this was taken in 2004 after the dampers were added, and you can see them shown as X shaped members.
ReplyDeletesorry it's such an engineer's picture but i thought it would be quite cool, especially with the view of the sky at such an unusual angle.
mind you i walked up it a few times and it's STILL wobbly.. but adds to the fun, eh?
