A tale of two towers: the structures

Article Abstract:

In preparing two lots in New York City's (US) Times Square as sites for modern skyscrapers, engineers devised structural systems that would allow for subway lines, subway stations, and a century-old theater. Engineers explain the way in which the slender structures were efficiently stabilized.
