[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 50703, member: 67"] Re: Commissioned Report on Indiana Fair Tragedy The report engineering shows that it would have failed regardless of the type of anchor and at wind speeds lower than either the applied standard or speeds calculated by Thomas for the 2010 design. There are several potential points of failure, but the primary one is that the "fin" plates could not sustain the total load of self weight, production equipment, and *designed* wind load. Lots of components failed in different ways and at different points in the collapse (there are hundreds of pictures in the report), many did not, and some inadequate practices appear to have been used in erection of the structure. You should read the 110 pages of the report. You can skip the appendices for the time being... but that's where the pictures are. [/QUOTE]
