    The 100-year-old Turkey building imho should be studied by all architects, contractors, concrete companies, etc. We are talking a building that was close to a century-old that fell on its side and rolled over on its roof and still stayed intact. How many buildings are that strong in today's cut corners type world

      I have a funny anecdotal addition to that :)
      My father was overseeing the construction of the grounds on the lot next to that tower, opposite direction, and they had just finished putting down rail-road tracks on newly flattened ground.
      They had partitioned the local government for a postponement since the work he was doing was also of importance (bettering infrastructure ahead of the comming femern bridge) but they were denied and the tower was to be destroyed.. well ok, my father had only hope to rely upon and if any of the ground shifted just millimeters because of the impact they'd have to redo work worth millions...
      So despitte the fact that it is horrible whenever any demolition goes wrong they were relieved that it fell the other direction (still better for their project than falling straigh down i'd suppose)
      The whole crew were sweating along with the locals watching.. :))
      The ground did not shake or move to any degree, so they only failed the demolition and the library... 2/3 is better than 3/3..

    I remember a story in the newspaper some years back. The tallest building in the state was slated for demolition. The former employees who had worked there all their lives had tried to save it, but to no avail. The day came, the explosives blew, and the building... slumped by about a story before staying otherwise intact. The newspapers had a field day, mocking them relentlessly, but naturally, no one was more amused by the situation than the aforementioned former employees. They saw it as their beloved workplace giving one final middle finger to those who wanted it gone.

You can't build silos with it, but you can build other buildings with many materials used in every day life, and this game uses real math mechanics for weather, brick building, shows the center of gravity, plus if too much weight on one side, if you get careless, your buildings will implode like in every day life.

    • @sirxanthor
      @sirxanthor 3 роки тому +2

      @@lostcause1206 depends on the type of silo, what it's used for, size of property, and also weather type for said area. Farms may actually build a grain silo, far from the fields because some places burn the fields to ready the ground for another type, and having a silo to near would risk accidental building fires. I believe it's called crop rotation. Plants use up one mineral while growing, and place another. Then following year a different variety planted that takes advantage of the newly placed. The burning of fields is to both help in clearing, and also burn up too much excess minerals. Some times too much ends up in soil. Then you have ore silos, built next to the forges used to extract the metal. If an area is prone to let's say cyclone's/tornados they are either not built to high, or built into the ground. Few years ago, a couple who just graduated high school, went hiking and both sadly got killed when they slept in one which activated, dropping them 100 feet to their death. Not sure if it was the fall, or being crushed.

      This is why high end schools like Georgia Tech, Stanford, etc offer explosive engineering, mining engineering, and so on. Because some hack shouldn't try knocking down a silo with a back hoe like its the same concept of cutting down a tree. A properly educated demolition firm is not going to turn down a silo demo. There is math to it and they can do a controlled demolition that will pretty much go as aspected without worries or issues

    As a former citizen living close to the silo it was an unused landmark for years and at one time being intended to become the center of a housing project around the silo. But a very nearby bridge with loud trains passing many times a day made it imposible to sell to eventual people intending to live there, even though it had a nice view to the south.

That way even if it does start to topple instead of drop straight down, there's no strength to lever off in any direction.

However, the building dropped one floor and sat there looking just fine and had to be very cautiously inspected and a new attempt made.

      I accidentally wound up in the red zone on the west side by the old viaduct. The fence company that placed the fences that were supposed to keep people out got their maps wrong and the people there were actually two blocks closer than we were supposed to be. The shock wave blew the fence over on top of us and the fence then took the hit from the wave of small pieces of concrete instead of us. We saw a large piece of concrete go through the brewery without even slowing down. Then the cloud came and we saw nothing for ten minutes. We had just gotten out from under the fence when the police and fire units arrived. Asked us why we snuck into the red zone. Pointed out the fence and a few minutes later were told it had been placed two blocks east of where it should be. Medics checked us out, minor cuts bruises and dust inhalation. Real “E” ticket ride.

      Not as odd as you think, considering how the buildings were constructed. They weren't typical steel frames like most high rises.

And if you look at the footage carefully, the top of one of them did start tilting just before the whole thing collapsed.

    The game Red Faction: Guerrilla has some pretty accurate physics for building demolition. And, let me tell you, those smoke stacks are practically homing. I finally realized that you always want to be on a side other than the one being blown up to avoid being crushed. Likewise, being on the side the smokestack here was being chipped away at is dangerous. I think that's why they were angled a bit to the side, but again - sometimes it feels like those buggers home in on you. Unfortunately for them, this was real, and not a game. I'm just glad they made it out more or less okay.
