Impossibly warped wilted Structural Steel Girders Evidence DEW Attack on Cinci Big Mac Bridge
556 linear feet of structural steel girder will be replaced in the project.
“Pro” engineers and even people having critical minds should be strongly questioning HOW structural steel girders were warped and wilted by open-air fire, because such is impossible, as every gas stovetop owner, backyard griller, and blowtorch user can verify. IM POSS IBLE
Thick steel girders (that “wick” heat away in massive heat-sink style) that somehow warp and wilt like sunlit taffy, from a plastic / wood fire over one-hundred feet below is preposterous. SOMETHING ELSE MELTED THAT STEEL.
@CaseyJones-Engineer Excepting this bridge (and maybe some of the other similar mysteries of recent times, including the WTC girders that mostly turned to dust but many of which warped in multiple axes inexplicable under any load), I’d sure like to see an example of any structural steel girder warping, wilting resulting from exposure to open-air fire of any duration. My much weaker gas stovetop – iron vs blue flame, sometimes for hours – has lasted perfectly well for decades. Same with my much weaker still backyard grill. In comparison, these recent wispy, yellow-flame open-air organically-fueled catastrophes are extraordinary in the extreme. The presumable ‘energy beam test / attack’ on Washington state’s White River Bridge in 2015 shows similarly oddly warped structural steel girders (on flikr COMpany site, under photos, under wsdot, it’s pic # 17100885625 — https://www.flickr.com/photos/wsdot/17100885625/ ). I’m wondering if the fire in this case was simply distraction.
