In June 1978, prompted by a phone call by a civil engineering student studying the
building, Diane Hartley, LeMessurier recalculated the wind loads on the building, including
quartering winds. This recalculation revealed that with a quartering wind, there was a 40%
increase in wind loads and a 160% increase in the load at all connection joints.

To ensure safety:
Allowable (Actual) Stress < Material Strength
Variability in strength of material
Variability in loadings
Safety reserves a portion of the load-carrying
capacity to assure its safe performance.
