We're all a bit "pre-stressed" and filled with "tension" these days. (Her voluptuous friend should go with her as a pile of jumbled bricks.)

If halloween was structural engineering class. Or is it vice versa?

I bet Grady from practical engineering approves. I love it.

Nice!!

Nothing like the excitement of cutting into a post tensioned slab.

The beams in my building don't close their eyes, except to blink every couple of minutes.

Clearly engineered. Well done, hope you’re barely strong enough for what’s to come

As a civil-structural engineer, I give her a 5/7 across the board.
For those curious: PSPT concrete uses tendons inside the beam which have been placed in tension during casting. When severed, these tensile tendons attempt to contract, which induces an internal compressive force on the beam throughout the beam. This internal force counteracts forces placed on the beam in service, effectively "negating" tensile loads up to a point, allowing it to tolerate much higher dynamic loads.

A perfect score

Bonus points would have been rewarded if she'd also displayed her camber state as well as her relaxed state.

I had a feeling that this costume involved a bit of civ engineering humor involved.

*civ engineering humor
Also, I had studied materials enginering during undergrad, and one of my professors talked about this sort of concrete in class. I appreciate your explanation as it really brings up again the ingenuity of such a material.

@AlphaStructural, are you paying attention?

Doesn't look structural.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

And it's Chinese because there's a human body in it to reduce concrete volume

a base-plate of prefabulated aluminite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan.

That sounds nice, but it doesn't mean much for those of us who are unwilling to accept the risk of sinusoidal depleneration. What about us?

And here's some very depressed Chinese tofu dreg on the verge of a mental breakdown. Don't worry, China has literally put a ban on Halloween.
MechanicalRomance
I dunno the amount of tofu dreg posting on posts that are barely related really is starting to reek of some anti chinese sentiments. Did we check sources? Is that chinese? Do I care?

I would NOT be leaning out that window to get better pictures. Looks like a butterfly putting any extra load on this might be all that is needed to start a tofu-concrete avalanche

Where's AlphaStructural? He needs to tell us what's happening here.

The exterior (in American buildings(4 stories at least)) is often a 4 inch layer of styrofoam that has been coated with stucco and then painted. Source - I've built many hotels in the 3-4 story height.
nojustsayitdont
Yes. But it sticks to the building, and the building stays upright.
shakefu
You mean insulation and weather protection?
necrojoe
What do you think the odds are that this is curtain-wall construction, where the outer layer isn't structural? I have no idea if it's used on buildings with such small windows...

If the WTC was post tensioned 9/11 would have been a minor issue.
prolorus
The WTC towers were designed to absorb airliner impacts. Jet fuel (kerosene) burns at a lower temp than steel melts. Etc.

As I recall, there was a lot of tension post 9/11
