Abstract: On December 13, 1988, after numerous attempts to pour and delays due to cold weather, the pour for level 2 (area A-B-5-6 in particular) began. This area was poured with 4 3/4 in. of concrete (mat included). Approximately two hours later, a 3 in. sheet of insulation was placed, followed by an additional 3 in. slab of concrete (actually closer to 4 in.). As the last of the concrete was being placed by the six concrete workers, the 22 gauge epicore metal deck collapsed. Employees #1 through #5 fell 42 feet while a coworker clung to the building structure. They sustained broken bones and bruises.
