Structural Assessment of the New U.S. Embassy Office Building in Moscow

N. J. Carino / J. G. Gross / W. C. Stone / M. Sansalone / F. Y. Yokel

Public Law 99-591, The Continuing Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1987, directed the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) to conduct an independent analysis of the new United States Embassy Office Building being constructed in Moscow. The analysis was to include: '...an assessment of the current structure and recommendations and cost estimates for correcting any structural flaws and construction defects....' This report describes the investigation, which included field, laboratory and analytical studies, and its findings. The investigation did not address security and other nonstructural deficiencies. The investigation has identified important structural defects in the building and defined remedial measures to correct them. While important, these structural defects, in comparison to the total structural system for the building, are modest in scale and fully correctable.
