Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel
Walkway Collapse
Background
The Hyatt Regency Hotel was built in Kansas City, Missouri in 1978. This hotel consisted of a 40-story hotel tower and conference facilities,
which were connected by an open concept atrium. Inside the atrium, there were three walkways that connected the hotel to the
conference facilities on the second, third, and fourth floors. The atrium was 145 feet long, 117
feet wide and 50 feet high.

An Engineering Disaster
Kansas City, Missouri - 1981
July 17, 1981
• Approximately 2000 People Came for a Dance Competition
• At 7:05 pm a large crack was heard and two walkways collapsed
•Leaving 114 Dead and Left over 200 injured
Gillum-Colaco International Inc. (G.C.E. Inc.)
Proposed Design for the Walkways
• wide flange beams were to be used on either side of the walkway which was hung from a box beam
• a clip angle was welded to the top of the box beam which connected to the flange beams with bolts
• one end of the walkway was welded to a fixed plate while the other end was supported by a sliding bearing
• each box beam of the walkway was supported by a washer and nut which was threaded onto the supporting rod
Proposed Design
The Revised Design
• one end of each support rod was attached to the atrium’s roof cross beams
• the bottom end went through the box beam where a washer and nut were threaded on
• the second rod was attached to the box beam 4" from the first rod
• additional rods suspended down to support the other levels in a similar manner
Actual Design
The Fourth Floor Connection
Reasons For Disaster
• Lack of Communication
• Interpreting Preliminary Drawings as Finalized Drawing
• Insufficient Review of the Final Design
Kansas City Hyatt Regency HotelWalkway Collapse
Timeline
The project began in 1976 with Gillum-Colaco International Inc. (G.C.E. Inc.) as the consulting structural engineering firm. They were contracted in 1978. The construction on the hotel began in
the spring of 1978. In December of 1978, Havens Steel Company entered the contract to fabricate and erect the atrium. The
following February, Havens changed the design of the connection for the second and fourth floor walkways from a single to a double rod. During construction in October 1979, part of the atrium roof collapsed and an inspection team was brought in to investigate
the collapse. G.C.E. vowed to review all the steel connections in the atrium. In July 1980, the hotel was open for business. On July 17, 1981 at 7:05 p.m., a loud crack was heard as the second and
fourth floor walkways came crashing down to the ground level. There were about 2000 people gathered in the atrium for a dance contest. After the collapse, 114 people were dead and left more
than 200 were injured.
Kansas City Hyatt Regency HotelWalkway Collapse
Main Reasons for Collapse
The failure of the Hyatt Regency walkway was a combination of things. The most important cause was the design in the walkways.
The proposed design of the walkways was:
A wide flange beams that was used on either side of the walkway which hung from a box beam.
A clip angle that was welded to the top of the box beam which connected the flange beams with bolts.
One end of the walkway was welded to a fixed plate, whereas the other end was supported by a sliding bearing
Each box beam of the walkway was supported by a washer and nut which was threaded onto the supporting rod.
Due to disputes between G.C.E. and Havens, the design changed from a single to a double hanger rod, simply because Havens did not want to thread the
entire rod in order to install the washer and nut.
Kansas City Hyatt Regency HotelWalkway Collapse
The actual design consisted of:
One end of each support rod was attached to the atrium's roof cross beams The bottom end of the rod went through the box beam where a washer and nut
were threaded on The second rod was attached to the box beam four inches from the first rod
Additional rods were suspended down to support the second level in a similar manner
Due to the addition of another rod, the load on the nut connecting the fourth floor segment was increased. The original load for each hangar rod was to be
90kN, but the alteration increased the load to 181kN. The box beams were welded horizontally and therefore could not hold the weight of two walkways. During the collapse, the box beam split and the bottom rod pulled through the
box beam resulting in the collapse.
Another problem was the lack of communication between G.C.E. and Havens. The drawing prepared by G.C.E. were only preliminary sketches that Havens
interpreted to be the finalized drawings. Another large error was G.C.E.'s failure to review the final design which would have allowed them to catch the error in
increasing the load on the connections.
Kansas City Hyatt Regency HotelWalkway Collapse
Who's to Blame?
An investigation took place to determine the exact cause of the accident and who was responsible for the accident. The investigation determined that the
flaw was contained in the design and the construction techniques were not at fault.The construction was sound according to the imperfect design. G.C.E was
credited with the complete fault of the collapse of the walkways.These conclusions were arrived at by conducting an extensive investigation of the walkways. First, they determined how the walkways collapsed. The fourth floor collapsed first, directly onto the second floor, which in turn caused it to
collapse. It was also determined that the design prints had been changed with G.C.E. approval. The investigation found out that both designs of the walkways were well below the required safety stress required by the Kansas City Building
Code.
The engineers at G.C.E. were found of gross negligence, misconduct and unprofessional conduct in the practice of engineering. Consequently, the
engineers lost their licenses and many supporting firms went bankrupt. The results proved that engineers are held responsible for the public's safety in the design of their projects and must be held accountable if anything goes wrong.
