You think those plastic covers are?

Then that weird shape and that is like the edge of a building under construction.
This is going to be a high rise for sure.

Look at where the bus is.
The size of a bus is pretty big.
This is wider than the bus.

The plastic cover probably are assembling what is technically the base of that building.
COMO?

Voce pergunta?

Mas pensa?
Entao pensa :) /penao /se!

Tipo o restante ainda esta em construcao... Dois lados,
As colunas, ou o que seriam wood studs ja estao no lugar.

Talvez seja madeira.
Ja vi madeira que extende por aquela altura.

Voce tem que perceber
That the lower part in itself is likely over 30ft.

The height of the bus about 15ft?
There's three layers of that in plastic wrap.
For that matter, the base of this building is going to be

OVER THE GROUND
45 ft in height.

Then you have the studs supporting a window facade
Which I think is more of a modern type of construction
So  what is the speed of the wind hitting the building at 45 ft?

Within this region of the city?
ASCE 7.10 will tell you.

So, wood studs are probably good enough to support the glass,
and the loads from the environment such as high=speed winds,
At different intervals, which could potentially produce loads that are higher than
regular earthquake loads.

Which are also looked at through a lateral analysis on the building.
Often, they are not looked at based on the surface it hits.

That ought to be considered,
Except, that for this type of construction,
There are winds during the construction, and also afterwards.

In Cambridge as it is, and I'm not going to say,
I'm actually slightly surprised that such a huge building is going up and I didn't really noticed it based on its dimension (or magnitude shall I say).

I was just looking for this post. Had not published it.
Guess here it goes.

Eitherway, how tall or how many stories will that building have? For sure more than 6.
How about the basement, how big were the piles they dug?
I dont know.

WEll, it is Thursday.
