Finally, StructEngGuy shared a picture from CAST CONNEX, showing the architecturally exposed structural steel seismic force-resisting system of San Francisco's new Transbay Transit Centre. Fitted with cast steel nodes, the building will become a major transit hub in the city, and feature a rooftop garden.
