    Structural bolts

    It wasn't a washer change, it was a piss poor design and implementation along with poor communication. Instead of being supported through to the ceiling, the lower walkway was supported from the upper one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse 114 dead 216 injured

    building large shelving unit from cold formed steel channel ideas
