zdenek bazant

Posted today. For everyone's sake, I've omitted the picture of Tony. I've also saved you a visit to the site. Now we know why bazantmisconduct was created from the finest woo. Quoted text edited for compliance with Rule 4 of the Membership Agreement.

Haha. This should get funny: http://www.911blogger.com/news/2012-08-07/collapse-physics-huge-obvious-error-bazants-work :D So far only one other poster commented and asked a question: Let's see if any of the brainiacs there step in to actually defend Bazant and put this fool Duschvorhang...

This is a request to those posters who feel qualified*) to discuss the several papers by Zdenek Bazant and co-authors on the WTC collapses. I must admit I am somewhat confused on what papers are out there, what hypotheses they propose, what their premises are, what they conclude - and how...

While there has been quite a lot of discussion here about the Bazant, Le, et al paper and the subsequent Bjorkman "discussion" of it, I don't think Bazant and Le's Closure which was also published in the July 2010 edition of the ASCE Journal of Engineering Mechanics has ever been posted here, so...

This text addresses how and in what sense Bažant's model, initially stated in [B 2001] and [BZ], and refined in [BV] and [BLGB], with clarifications in [BL] (see below, References), can or can not apply to real world buildings. The author of this text is a layman in the matters in question, yet...

I'm trying to understand Bazant's crush-down/crush-up model, which I know is widely accepted. I am not questioning it, I merely want to understand it, and hopefully the explanation will be useful for someone else too. In order to explain where my doubts arise, I propose the following thought...

Saw this today in my travels around the internet as I delve back into the twoofer fray over at Peak Oil.com. I'm presently back at it after a self imposed hiatus. Seems some of the old crap has been found by some newbs and they are buying into it hook line and sinker. This video is of a CD...

hello all. first time poster here. i have been lurking for awhile now, and i could use some feedback at this point. i need the help of the professionals. i have an acquaintance that is rather fond of slamming bazant's model. i am rather fond of using it to quiet the strange troothers (for a...

The official explanation of the WTC 1 9/11 destruction by NIST and Bazant is that the Upper Part C of the tower drops on and then crushes down the Lower Part A, while Part C remains intact. The first 3.1 seconds of the destruction is seen on below pictures; time 0, 2 and 3.1 seconds...

What Did and Did not Cause Collapse of WTC Twin Towers in New York I have read subject article by Bazant, Le, Greening and Benson (BLGB below) in Journal of Engineering Mechanics, ASCE, Vol. 134 (2008), with great interest and would like to make the following observations: There is no need to...

A new paper by Graeme MacQueen and Tony Szamboti contest NIST's and Bazant's collapse hypothesis, finding that there was no deceleration of the rigid 12 story block when it impacted the rest of the North Tower. http://journalof911studies.com/volume/2008/TheMissingJolt4.pdf

If you look at the Ari-Gur, et. al. paper*, you will see that about half of the steel specimens have 2 bends, in opposite clockwise senses. However, as the theory is pretty good, this doesn't seem to have affected net deflection by much. (As I understand it, the theory only assumes bending in 1...

As JREF posters discussing the WTC1 collapse on the Pizza Box Tower thread don't know the difference between weight/mass (kg) and force (N) and moving bodies, let's do a new experiment in the bathroom in this thread and prove Bazant and NIST wrong, i.e. debunk them. All you need is a bathroom...

I have noticed that 9/11 debunkers appear to become irritated when truthers point out the fact that all they do is regurgitate government propaganda, regarding the events of 9/11. The debunkers pretend that they have investigated all the issues themselves and have come to the same conclusions...

Any constructive and on topic comments are welcome. http://www.cool-places.0catch.com/911/loadDistribution_v1.pdf The link in the main article doesn't work in pdf for some reason... http://www.cool-places.0catch.com/911/calcCriticalLoad.pdf

Does anybody have any hot scoops re the 2008 Structures Conference? It took place last month, and dealt partly with progressive collapse. =================================== There will be 3 presentations on Progressive Collapse: http://www.succeed.ufl.edu/asce08/schedule_day.asp The...

My latest submission to the Journal of 9/11 Studies. ...more truth from a "truther".

I have recalculated Bazant and Zhou's overload ratio with the result that progressive collapse is not predicted by the model. Please see the article: http://www.cool-places.0catch.com/docs/Overload.pdf Any constructive comments would be appreciated.

Greetings everyone. In the soon to be published paper Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers: What Did and Did Not Cause It by Bazant, Le, Greening [Apollo20] and Benson we find the following in the abstract: "Previous analysis of progressive collapse showed that gravity alone suffices...

I'm looking for Cherepanov's paper on the WTC collapse, which suggest a "fracture wave" theory rather than progressive collapse. Is it posted anywhere online? * Mechanics of the WTC collapse. Author: Cherepanov, G.1. Source: International Journal of Fracture, Volume 141, Numbers 1-2, September...
