The award is for the approach used by
the design team that "recognized the strategic values of the arrangement,
location, and integration of fluid viscous dampers and super diagonal bracing
within a perimeter structural tube, thereby optimizing and enhancing the
structure 's seismic performance. This arrangement enables a structure to not
only withstand major seismic events without damage, but also to be operational

Guy Carpenter Publishes Report on Indian Ocean Tsunami Event; New Study Offers Insight into Damages and Global Risks

The report analyzes the threat to countries near the Pacific,
Atlantic and Indian oceans and examines historical tsunamis and their
main causes, including earthquakes, landslides, volcanic activity,
meteor impacts and man-made explosions.

While plans are in place to extend the reach of the existing
warning system to affected regions not yet covered, an
effective network cannot prevent property destruction or limit
