thanks to the skin effect

@xorgy used to work as a aluminium and steel plant that made those via extrusion actually, 😉

erh, not skin effect

what's it called in physics...

tube theory?

Working class Southern Californias think its precious ;) lololol

overall our i-beams had greater cross section strength against bending

hmm

beams might be an okay choice

the problem I see is that they make hooking and grappling easier

They gotta deep in the earth too

They be diggin tunnels

@Misomania I wouldn't make all the slats resistant to ramming, that would be a waste of money

the other problem with I beams is that they are easier to scale than tubes

@xorgy well no, but two braces and a single i-beam between them covers a lot

With all this grass root fundraising, the big winner is gofundme, they are laughing all the way to the bank.

maybe I beams are the better choice where ramming is a primary concern, and we can afford to patrol

@Misomania what about a T beam?

(with sharpened edges?)

you can have standard rampart then with a braced triangle on the inside, and slats on the wall on the outside

then any force on it is distrubted along the beam on the back then sent to the ground

I think it's okay to have a horizontal support if it is low

Sargon's Law!

yeah, that's helpful for ramming

there we go, took a while to position

Hui, Tim is a pro Wall person 😉

they could pull it still, but that is less likely

@Misomania I mean, you could do a tensile anchor at the base of the support as well

@Abel i reported that to the twatter trust and safety team

Tim is a not pro wall but says it would work person.

@Misomania I'm going to mock this up a bit

try to figure out the material weight and whatnot

toss it out there and see what people think of the design

If it works in Israel it will work here.

Yup

Man has been building walls for thousands of years

@Misomania I think the variable thickness extrusions could make it considerably cheaper, materials wise, and make it simpler to customize for different situations
