The Time Warner Center is a mixed-use
skyscraper consisting of two 750-foot towers bridged by a multi-story
atrium containing upscale retail shops. Complex design presented a number
of structural engineering challenges on this monumental structure. Working
closely with the steel fabricator, Ruby+Associates performed additional
layouts and analysis to develop an effective connection design. During
this analysis, Ruby identified an issue with the lateral load path at
the structural steel / concrete interface, which would impact the overall
stability of the building. Ruby and the designer collaborated to create
a solution to this design issue, and the project moved forward
