    The book actually discusses this. If I remember correctly, there was a law or something saying that they couldn't be more than 4 or 5 trailers high but eventually they began to over populate and so the rule became less important. Columbus is the fast growing city at this point because it was where the oasis was created. Wade grew up there in the movie, and he moved there in the book. He talks about the stacks in both stories though almost the same. He talked about how the weather felt and how he also lived with at least 6 other people besides himself, aunt Alice, and her boyfriend Rick. The place was one 2 rooms, a fact the movie didn't show, but the stacks are solely for low income individuals, so it's hard to say that safety was a continuing concern as it was more of having a home for these individuals.

    Although this theory makes sense, I would like to point out that the book says that the environment and ozone are busted. The odds of rain/snow/strong wind are pretty low. Also, Wade almost never lives in his Aunt's trailer; he usually stays in his car hideout. The book also says that he only stays in the stacks some days in the winter to avoid freezing to death; so if his Aunt's trailer fell, he may survive.

    hey matpat,
    first: as a structural engineer I love your theories about building-stuff. keep it up!
    second: you mentioned that we will not run out of sand. which is not compleatly true. yes, we have a lot of sand on the planet but most of it is desert sand which is not useable for concrete. the sand grains are all rounded and therefore don't form a good framework or in laymans terms: they just roll off each other (ever tried to build a sand castle from desert sand? it's not possible). the amount of sand from shores or beaches is more limited but not a problem today but is gonna be one if we keep on building with concrete in the intensity as we do today. even today some beaches in south asia get excavated (sometimes illegally) for buildings around that area. sand for concrete is gonna be a problem in the future is all I want to say.

      You know, you got a good point which I didn't even bring up in my comment. I don't know where he comes up with concrete being cheap. I quoted some people just to put concrete down for our driveway, and they wanted 10k for that, and that was back in 97. I can only imagine how bad the price is, now. So, no.....that's not cheap. The price of a 'used' mobile home is a fraction of the cost, and as I said to Matt none of those mobile homes look brand new to me. :P

    • @TheLaughingMax
      @TheLaughingMax 6 років тому +11

      clarity2199 concrete is relativly cheap. Concrete buildings are cheaper than steel buildings but more expansive than masonry buildings. Given that they all are about the same size. As masonry is limited in it's bearing capacity concrete is often easier to calculate/construct and therefire chosen. It's nothing I am pretty fond about. But that's the way it is for now...

      @@ChaosRayZero and the Stacks are most likely made of second-hand trailers. Most of them even look like they have a build date from the 80's, 90's and 00's. So they're probably cheaper than new flatappartements would be in the 2030's and 2040's, in terms of both material and construction costs (for the construction company) and rent (for the residents. Altough i doubt the latter would be true, given the story takes place in a distopian future version of the States led by corrupt, incapable politicians and tyrannical, powerlust-driven businessmen. 😅

    I studied civil engineering. Little fact:
    Foundation piles need to reach a sand layer in the ground in order to reduce sinking of the building, these sand layers are usually many meters underground. If you want to build without foundation piles, a layer of sand (or rock) has to be the upper layer.
    These trailers don't weigh anything compared to concrete buildings. So a normal house foundation can easily lift many trailers. I would be more concerned about the internal supports, how can 1 trailer lift 20 trailers stacked on top of each other.

    Problem, forests are insanely good at keeping wind speeds down mainly because of how each tree distributes and redirects airflow, for instance the red wood Forrest can grow trees way higher than should be possible for their individual geometry(this is also because of how their roots intertwine underground). I imagine the design cru for the stacks had this in mind while making the scaffolding and made sure to add equally on each stack recreating the “redwood effect” as I am currently calling it, the wind in that case would no longer be an issue. Also if they attached each stack to the surrounding stacks with steel rods, built wide, and added levels from the middle stack to the outer stacks, they would recreate the essential physics at play in the pyramids making the stacks exponentially safer

      Not a bad theory and not a bad idea except that the working class is the one that keeps the actual labor part of the world going. Therefore it would be the worst group to target for that kind of thing. Of course that assumes that the people who are okay with endangering thousands for money would be smart enough to figure out what they lose by killing the work force.

      the people in the stacks are either unemployed or working in the oasis. actual produktion nearly stopped. you don't have to care for employees living near their workplace if the work is done in the internet. if one (or even a few hundred) die, there are enough waiting in line to fill the spots, even from the other side of the world.

    IIRC in the original novel these stacks are built using scrap cars (and of course also vans), and the formation would probably be like a giant blob of 22 floor high strips bundled together, forming a 3D labrynth or maybe a spider net. The chain reaction of things collapsing is probably less like domino but more like snow collapse, as adjacent buildings aren't knocked down by the falling one but rather pulled down, since every building is probably welded or bolted together with adjacent ones at various height.

    The cornfield joke made me laugh because it's true. My grandpa used to ask my sister and I what was growing in the fields (he lived on a farm) and it was a good idea to just say beans if it's not corn because most of the time it's corn.
