some of the weight is putting on lateral stress

again, 'bending' is the center between the two endpoints of the center

delightful

axial loads are not lateral loads

basic statics/dynamics

in a perfect situation, yes

How about this noodle heads. Shitty metal. Construction companies always cut the quality.

It doesn't make sense for it to be an inside job

but this isn't a perfect situation

no, under 10x the conditions they report

bullshit

I call bullshit as well

4x

each column consists of over 50 individually bound rods which allow the support to sway laterally but also maintain axial strenght

10x those conditions would vaporise steel

further, you can't bend a rod from the top

only in the center

yes you can

are you fucking stupid?

Lol Inb4 they had used shit quality metal and the only cover up being that

get onto voice chat you noobs

it's called 'moment'

@TempleOfIron that's what I said

Force through a distance

of course you can bend something from the ends

if the deformation would occur near the foundation, you'd have an argument

it did not

it occured at the top

i will fucking draw

a diagram for you

you stupid nigger

Above top-secret alive and well lol

it would require a proportional increase in deformation criteria for every meter distance from the middle of the beam

so I printed a picture of the Queen and it came out pinkish cos my printer is fucked, v a p o r w a v e q u e e n

Shitty printer

like trying to break a pencil by just gripping the last 5mm

Why would you have a pic of the traitorous queen

Can't rub 200 dollars together?

traitourous

how dare you

lol
