53W53 is a super-slender tower in New York and has won the Engineering News Record New York's best project of the year for 2020. 53 West 53 is a slender tower with 87-stories, the slenderness ratio is 1:13 of 53w53 and Architectural vision of Ateliers Jean Nouvel was to have minimal interior columns. To achieve the Architectural vision for 53 West 53 and the required slenderness ratio this required an innovative structural solution. The structural engineers WSP choose a diagrid solution, a diagrid system is able to resist forces due to gravity, wind and earthquake while maintaining Ateliers Jean Nouvel's dream of minimal columns. This design solution did not come with this own issues, the diagrid for 53W53 had a congestion issue at the nodes of the diagrid. To overcome the congestion issue steel nodes were fabricated for the critical junctions these where nicknamed "the steel glove". Despite the rigidity of 53 West 53's diagrid, the tower still had an acceleration issue requiring a tuned mass dampener on the 75th floor 53w53 is built over New York's Museum of Moden Arts(MOMA), with the bottom floors of 53 West 53 being part of MOMA. 53W53 is a masterpiece that will be become a classic in New York's skyline, due to the integration with MOMA, the innovative structural design and Ateliers Jean Nouvel's Architectural vision is why 53 West 53 one ENR Project of the Year for 2020. #53W53 Height 320 Slenderness ratio 1:13 Stability system Diagrid Acceleration control Tuned Mass dampener on the 75th floor *View expressed in this video does not represent either WSP or ENR What to watch next Structural Engineering of moon bases https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVDFgt4IzyA day in the life of a structural engineer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8se3Ky0qESg Artist: The Dronalist https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVzYLZVFtOilxQzgjtPMkQ TESolution null 💡💡💡 My name is Brendan and I am a structural engineer with over 15 years of experience based in Australia. I have a wide variety of projects from very small to some of the biggest in the southern hemisphere. I have a passion for good structural design and teaching/mentoring.
