[QUOTE="Phil Graham, post: 50625, member: 430"] Re: Commissioned Report on Indiana Fair Tragedy It should be clarified that lowering the roof would compromise the lateral load resistance. The roofs are specifically designed so that the lateral loads bending moments are not coupled to the tower, as it should be. Since the guy wires are bearing the lateral forces lowering the roof would make these wires too long to provide tension, and remove the resistance to lateral loads. [/QUOTE]
