I guess you're too stupid to see the sentence before the bong comment?
The thermal expansion number was for Mr. Jones who seems to think that the fireproofing of steel was to keep heat from transferring to other components that have a (I laugh at this every time) lower flash point.
I didn't post it to point out that engineers just learned about thermal expansion.
Idiot.
then builders were well aware of how much steel expanded per degree and factored that in to the design obviously...this is the reasons that hi-rise buildings do not collapse in fires
Please eots. Let us bask in your structural design knowledge. Pray tell, how do the structural engineers accommodate for this thermal expansion of columns and beams in a steel structure?
If a column or beam grows due to heat in a fire, how do they compensate for that growth?
Let's see what you've got.

not into playing your games if you have a statement to make ..make it ..instead of trying to hide behind your lame riddler routine...are you trying to imply the effects of fire are not compensated for in a hi-rise building design .
