    OWSJ? "Roof" for Solar Panels

    Apparently it is the clients hope to tilt the entire 'solar lattice' toward the south as much as possible... The 'Lattice' is 110' wide ....and 265' long... Unfortunately, the 265' is where the tilting should occur.... 10 Foot at the south end.....and about 1,000,000 feet tall at the north...

    Torch cutting holes in Web of Shoring wide flange

    If it "H A D" to be cut, perhaps a whole jig could be made (and approved by you) and a plasma torch could be used along the inside edge of said whole jig.(You'll have to oversize the whole by the 1/2 the width of the plasma cutter tip) ` Since you're allowing the drilling, why not make it more...

    1910's "weathering" steel?

    Good Question...here are my ramblings... ` Perhaps something in the structure has advertently or in-advertently served as a sacrificial anode? ` Perhaps the original 1911 Roof was Wood-Tar Paper-Tar (See any pictures of an old Detriot Studebaker plant with it's roof caved in...) and at some...

    Is there a best shape for spacecraft?

    At E X T R E M E L Y high speeds, even 1 H2 Molecule per KM has to be considered, but other than that, you're relatively free to make whatever erector-set tinker-toy you need.

    OWSJ? "Roof" for Solar Panels

    Ultimately, we're charged to reccommend a design idea, and then we'll be told to design it. ` The area where the panels are meant to be is currently a rather boring courtyard, and the idea was to build a "something" that could hold them off the ground high enough that residents "could" still...

    OWSJ? "Roof" for Solar Panels

    This is basically a MIN - MAX equation question relative to project-design-cost-efficiency. ` Project is to design a basic structure onto which solar panels (1900 of them) can be attached, with cost being the primary focus. The footprint of the structure is 265' X 110'. The Solar Panels...
