Review: Following the September 11th terrorist plane crash into the Pentagon, ASCE established a building study team to assess the damage and make recommendations for the future. This is the result of that study. It reviews the building documentation and the crash information; displays studies by the renovating, reconstruction and rescue engineers; looks at the fire and impact damage; analyses the thermal and mechanical damage to the individual components such as the columns and floor; and, finally, summarises the findings and makes recommendations for improved structural performance.
