ThereĀ“s a great documentary on that project here http://bit.ly/dWMIis and yes the tubes lattice continues bellow ground.

They continue through another floor slab (B!) and maintain being straight until dying into the bottom floor/foundation (B2)<br /><br /> \ | / /<br />--------------<br /> | | | |<br /> ----------<br /> | | | |<br /> ----------varchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072879082641024260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-18191750940814599262011-03-16T15:22:17.763-04:002011-03-16T15:22:17.763-04:00Alas, it did not.

Most of my information came from a monograph and Ito's El Croquis issue.<br />I could be wrong, but I don't think my sources had the detail desired to include in the analytique while maintaining consistency.<br /><br />I seem to remember the whole-building sections showing substantial systems at the the base of the lattice columns.<br /><br />I'd be interested in seeing if the expensive fire-rated glass set in the elevator/stair lattice columns popped out at all, which would indicate deformation in the column lattice itself.varchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072879082641024260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-81825477798828806192011-03-16T13:12:28.079-04:002011-03-16T13:12:28.079-04:00Thanks for the clarification JV/varchi.

Then the ceiling, as you point out, can move independently. A more thought out wording of my post would have been good. Regardless, somewhere I noticed that stabilization for earthquakes is in the basement. Did your analysis, by any chance, discuss that?<br /><br />rfs - I think downtown Sendai is far enough inland that the tsunami did not reach it. Of course I'm not 100% on that; I haven't read about the exact extent of it, outside numbers of 2-6 miles inland.John Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842328320680692310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-59596691074519853192011-03-16T11:25:19.266-04:002011-03-16T11:25:19.266-04:00http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/imagerecor...<a rel="nofollow">http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/49000/49634/Japan_amo_2011072_lrg.jpg</a>varchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072879082641024260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-21682083905310692222011-03-16T10:50:17.622-04:002011-03-16T10:50:17.622-04:00But what about the tsunami, did it get there?

I did an analytique on this a few years ago.<br />The floor is significantly integrated into the lattice columns. The floor itself is composed of a web of steel members as it approaches/connects to the columns.<br /><br />Feel free to share this by the way.
