Travis will want to keep it just “Kelce”. TayTay will insist upon the hyphenation.

Designed a fricking piperack.?? GTFOOH


I’ll take that as a no.

Only saw this post which is not even close to being correct.


Have you ever designed a piperack or MPS in a corrosive environment?

In a plant environment there is quite a bit more of that steel than there is in buildings.

most structural steel used in commercial building is not galvanized and it’s not even close.


Not being exposed to the elements, it doesn’t need to be.

My original post in this thread was merely to correct the assertion that steel “rots”.

Most interior industrial structural steel is not galvanized.


We’ve been through that. Interior structural steel is less likely to corrode, hence there’s no need.

Find me a piperack or MPS that isn’t galvanized (or painted) and I’ll show you one that’s eventually going to fail.

The black community is on an impressive string of losses currently and are desperate for a “win”. They lost majority black congressional districts. Karmello was sentenced for murder. The shoplifting baby shield story is quickly losing traction. This case doesn’t look particularly favorable to them either.

This a commercial high rise, not an industrial building in corrosive environments.stay focused.


My original post was correcting her assertion that steel rots. Steel doesn’t “rot”. It corrodes.

Edit... is normally not galvanized. I've built a lot of buildings and factories in my 40 year career. Very view places did I ever see galvanized still used for structural members. The only building I can recall is in UPW buildings on trenches and grating at floor grade or below. The structural support steel in these buildings were still not galvanized.


My 30+ year structural design career has been spent working in most petrochem. Which, of course, requires more protection from corrosion. I was speaking of structural steel in more general terms. :cheers:

Structural steel is not galvanized.


Uh, yes it is. At least in industrial applications it usually is.

That is going to be on the GC for overloading the existing support columns.


Unless the structural engineer fricked it up. These renovations weren’t being done without a stamped set of prints.

True but they rot over time.


Corrosion.

And if the steel is galvanized (as most structural steel is) it takes an extremely long time. If exposed.

It’s been long enough..shite or get off the pot Mr. President. Iran is clearly incapable of agreeing to your terms.


It’s like the war with Imperial Japan, only the Iranians are more deceptive. They have no fear of death so negotiations in good faith are all but impossible.

So what?

They were on the ballot. If you were really against Kamala, nothing was stopping you from pulling the lever for one of them.
It’s now been announced that it’s headed for streaming sooner than expected.

And, of course, you have the simps on social media trying to spin it that this is a good thing, that it’ll help it make back it’s money sooner.

It staggers me how many people are trying so hard to polish this particular turd.

I voted against Trump not for Harris but, yes, that meant I had to pull the lever for her.


No it doesn’t.

There were other candidates. You chose to vote for HER.

Actually I stand corrected. It’s widely misattributed to de Tocqueville. It was Tytler who said it.
