About Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower)
Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) consists of a structural steel frame that was pre-assembled in sections and then bolted in place on the site. The lightweight building skin — a black aluminum and bronze-tinted glare-reducing glass curtain wall — serves as an insulator between the interior and exterior structure to maintain a relatively constant temperature, in turn minimizing the expansion and contraction of the frame. La Torre Willis (anteriormente conocida como la Torre Sears) consiste en un marco de acero estructural que fue prefabricado en secciones y luego atornillado en la propia obra. El revestimiento de construcción liviano está formado por un muro de cortina de vidrio que reduce el deslumbramiento, y de aluminio negro y bronce que sirve como aislante entre la estructura interior y exterior para mantener una temperatura relativamente constante, lo que a su vez minimiza la expansión y contracción del marco estructural. Structurally, the building pioneered the use of bundled tube construction. The tower is composed of nine bundled structural tubes resting on reinforced concrete caissons that go down to bedrock. The caissons are tied together by a reinforced concrete mat. Estructuralmente, el edificio fue pionero en el uso de construcción mediante tubos estructurales agrupados entre sí. La torre está compuesta por nueve tubos estructurales agrupados que descansan sobre cajones de hormigón armado para descender hasta el extracto firme del terreno. Los cajones están unidos entre sí por una estera de hormigón armado. The iconic setback design of the structure was conceived as a direct result of the client's space requirements. The designers were required to develop a building that incorporated not only very large office floors, which were necessary for the company's operations, but also a variety of smaller floors for tenants requiring less floor area.
