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 towe

Thanks. That's my understanding of the failure mode as well. The steel didn't melt but became soft and warped and the concrete expanded and caused extra deforming loads on the softened steel outer wa

I admit that I have not hung any iron in 10 years, and in the 15 years prior had never seen a riveted connection. But might I also add, welded connections are extremely rare in structural steel. The

One of the news bites I heard during the disaster was that the original architect had commented that the structure was designed to withstand a direct hit from a commercial aircraft. I wonder what hap

Not true. Structural steel welding is still widely practiced. See my prior email in this thread for the government overview document. Actually the designers were proud of the strength of the towers t

I read a post-mortem of the structure failures a couple of days ago, and the general consensus of the architects and the engineers is that the original design planned for the impact of a 707. A 757 o

The structure was designed to withstand the impact from a 707, and it did. The designers have said they designed it to withstand the biggest plane flying but the 747 is much bigger than the 707. Meth

I think they figured on a "normal" fire, not one resulting from a full cross-country load of fuel. There was a plane that crashed in to the Empire State building in '45 (a bomber of some sort) in the

Yes, designed to take the *impact* of a Boeing 707. They never expected it to be a 707 filled with fuel. /// /// shop-talk@autox.team.net mailing list /// To unsubscribe send a plain text message to

But the 707 could carry a full cross-country load of fuel. The ESB can't really be used as a comparison because the bomber weighed something like 25,000 pounds (also used gasoline as a fuel). Modern-

Somewhere last week I heard that usual building fires hit 1500 F, but the jet fuel got it up to 2500 F; whatever the numbers, I heard several times that the heat from the jet fuel weakened the steel/
