Structural Engineering: 4 Columns Weak #14

Closed ds7-ds closed 4 years ago

ds7-ds commented 4 years ago

Columns 10, 11, 12, and 13 are weak and can be easily damaged. One has been ripped off from it base while the others seem to be sturdy. However, as time progresses, these columns may also get damaged. These need to be replaced as construction is still happening.

These columns are breaking because one part inside the column is weak. This part cannot be upgraded. School glue was used to keep the parts together. This time, wood glue will be used as wood glue is stronger.

Two columns have been replaced while the other two have yet to be replaced. The remaining columns will not be replaced and will be kept for now. A new design strategy was made to allow Foundation 2 to be independent of the Columns. Columns will not be permanently stuck to Foundation 2 as planned. See Foundation 2 instructions for more details.

The craft paper tape used on the four columns has peeled off. The outer parts of each column are structurally unstable.

Columns fixed. New Type B columns are more durable in design than the old Type A ones.
