Welding & WTC

[Richard Beels <beels@technologist.com>]

I read that the WTC buildings were welded rather than riveted.  Anybody 
here have knowledge and/or experience with structural building welding?

What differences in the structural integrity of the towers would there be 
if the towers were riveted in stead of being welded?  I'm thinking that the 
building couldn't have been built if it were riveted because of its design 
- as opposed to the Empire State Building and all the concrete and 
duplicate structure...

Cheers!
