Prestressed wind bracing in Queen Elizabeth Hotel
Montreal hotel is 21-floor building with two-story penthouse; because steel erection can proceed more rapidly than forming of concrete, it was felt that temporary erection bracing would be necessary; system of steel bracing, using steelplate bracing bars varying in width from 6 to 8 in. and in thickness from 3/4 to 7/8 in. was chosen; bracing was enclosed in narrow partition without danger that walls would be cracked.
