What does this have to do with truss sagging and failure? Remember, what we were talking about?Yes, Twinstead.

If that's what you want to believe. Can I interest you in a building with some "slightly used" trusses?Wow. You're dragging this way beyond its relevance.
No. A sagging truss is not truss failure.
You have no clue how the floor system in these buildings worked.
Does Quintiere talk about sagging trusses? His whole thesis is centered around truss vulnerability! And so was the practical experiment he and his group conducted!
snip!
My God... what level of oblivion is required to ask if Quintiere was talking about trusses? That's like asking if Darwin was talking about organisms. *smh*

Nice Stundie.You seem to have no clue that the floor system has nothing to do with collapse initiation. Well, except for the sagging trusses.![]()
No, you shouldn't've said anything.I guess I should've said supposed inward bowing.
Why would they model the collapse? They already know what it looks like since it happened! It would be a waste of time modeling the collapse since we have a the real collapse on video, no model needed.Yes, Twinstead.

And I was wrong stating he really needed to need (or have it read to him) the report he was commenting on.
