Wrong again - (mechanics). Not talking about mechanics.
Pounds or pound force per square inch (psi, lb/in^2, pfsi or lbf/in^2) is a widely used British and American unit of measure for pressure. 1 psi equals 6,894.76 Pascals.

–noun
1.
( used with a singular verb ) the branch of physics that deals with the action of forces on bodies and with motion, comprised of kinetics, statics, and kinematics.
2.
( used with a singular verb ) the theoretical and practical application of this science to machinery, mechanical appliances, etc.
3.
( usually used with a plural verb ) the technical aspect or working part; mechanism; structure.
Don't get it - what with the army of engineers and other professionals all so indignant about the NIST reports why they don't they prepare their own report? What do they need NIST data for? Sounds like a lame and lazy excuse to me.
Expression of Dead Load in Structural Calculations
There are several convenient ways to express the intensity of dead loads.
Floors, Roofs, and Walls
Most floor, roof, and wall systems have fairly uniform density and their weights can be expressed in terms of weight per unit area. With dead loads expressed in this manner, tributary area concepts can be used to determine the forces exerted on the supporting members.
To compute the average unit weight (i.e. weight per unit area) such a system, the weights of all items in system are expressed in terms of their weight per square foot of surface area even if they are located as particular locations.
But the floors were steel pans and trusses so it was not just the weight of concrete. So you still don't have the weight of the concrete in the towers. We know they used 110 lb per cu ft and 150 lb per cu ft. But the total weight in the towers is still not specified.
Not that it makes any difference to what psi is.

Look again, its pounds per square foot of concrete, not per cubic foot. If you know the square footage of each level you can calculate accordingly, and being that the towers were basically a square it shouldn't be too difficult. Good luck.
Normal weight concrete (150 pcf) was used in the core and mechanical floors and lightweight concrete (110 pcf) was used in the floor system for the tenant spaces between the building core and exterior.

All senior politicians and players worldwide know this.
They won't say anything. They are therefore complicit.

No Terrorists-No planes-few if any victims on 9/11.
Media Fakery has tricked us all into validating the agendas of a few.
The world is in the hands of NAZIS, and we don't know it.
Everything we are seeing is orchestrated with an endgame in mind, and it is shaping
up as though we are in for some big finish.
'like flies to wanton boys are we to these dogs.
They kill us for their sport'.
Osama bin Laden and "Al Qaeda" cannot be the organizers nor the performers of the September 11 attacks. They do not have the necessary organization, resources or leaders. Thus, a team of professionals had to be created and the Arab kamikazes are just extras to mask the operation.
Floors were designed for a uniform live load of 100 pounds per square foot (psf) over any 200-square-foor area with allowable live load reductions taken over larger areas. At building corners, this amounted to a uniform live load (unreduced) of 55 psf.

Yes, it is kind of, but its not what I am talking about. Try reading the NIST report. Why are you avoiding reading that report? What do you think is in there that you are so afraid of? The report won't bite you.

What was the floor's vertical dynamic loading limit?
Also, why dont you read the NIST report? How can you attack something and scoff at it, if you dont even know whats in it? Seems pretty ignorant to me. I read it. So I do understand it, and it makes sense.
I am not reading 10,000 pages of what is obviously mostly bullsh#.
It took me two weeks to conclude that airliners could not destroy buildings that big that fast. But it is the way the strength has to be distributed to support the distribution of mass that makes it obvious.

Well noted. You haven't read it but know that it is BS.

You've reached a conclusion but freely admit that you don't have the information needed to reach a conclusion. Pretty neat. Makes sense, you know what is and is not in a report you have not read and can reach a conclusion without the data you demand is necessary to reach a conclusion.
