But they're gonna be YUGE

@Misomania they are wider, and when you cut them off diagonally, you get two sharp ends for just one cut

@xorgy can't put the flat facing side out then, and need a brace on the inside as well

if it's one large cold extrusion, you can do that diagonal cut at the narrow end of the variable wall extrusion

then cut straight across in the center of the diagonal cuts

you get two tops per diagonal cut, and a continuous variable extrusion

But what if a armoured vehicle rams into it? It may damage the precious structure lol @xorgy

If it was hallow*

the structure is decidedly not precious

also, hollow tubes are almost as strong as solid ones

That's why they keep snipers

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
