Mechanics of Collapse of WTC Towers Clarified by Recent Column Buckling Tests of Korol and Sivakumaran
The previously formulated model of the gravity-driven collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001 was shown to match all the existing observations, including the video record of the crush-down motion of the top part of tower during the first few seconds, the seismically recorded duration of collapse, the size distribution of particles caused by impact comminution of concr...
متن کاملHow Did the Wtc Towers Collapse: a New Theory
This paper uses a finite element model to investigate the stability of the Twin-Towers of the World Trade Center, New York for a number of different fire scenarios. This investigation does not take into account the structural damage caused by the terrorist attack. However the fire scenarios included are based upon the likely fires that could have occurred as a result of the attack. A number of ...

متن کاملAn Engineering Perspective of the Collapse of WTC-I
We report on a simulation study of the performance of the North Tower (WTC-I) of the World Trade Center complex during the impact of American Airline Flight 11, on September 11, 2001. We discuss impact damage the structural core might have sustained and its possible behavior under structural and thermal loading. Our simulations indicate that the worst damage to the core structure was in stories...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Casing Collapse in Terms of Geomechanical Parameters and Solid Mechanics
Casing collapse is one of the major problems in oil fields, imposing a lot of costs on oil companies. This problem occurs not only at drilling times in some formations but also after the completion and production can lead to many problems. Analysis of the behavior of casing collapse in terms of geo-mechanics and solid mechanics could significantly meet the needs of the oil industry of Iran. In ...
