Tell us what has the NIST has said about these fractures if they are more than just some jargon you decided to throw into the mix?

Read the report. That's why they published the report.
If you think "fracture critical" is just jargon than you are in way, way, way over your head discussing structural collapse.

But that equation assumes that gravity can cause the mass to accelerate without inhibition through the distance height. Therefore that height has to be EMPTY SPACE. The tops of the towers did not have empty space beneath them. They had steel strong enough to support their static load.

LOL.....
Ok brah, your claim is that the upper 15 stories had zero PE before collapse initiation.
But you also have stated that the upper 15 stories are the only source of KE available to collapse the tower.
Where did this KE come from?
If there was zero PE, then KE cannot be conjured out of midair.
In every single Jet crash , there has always MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF DEBRIS, huge sections of plane, bodys, luggage.
A passenger plane crashed in Siberia shortly after taking off Monday morning, killing 31 of the 43 people on board, Russian emergency officials said. The 12 survivors were hospitalized in serious condition.
The tiny blip followed by a massive explosion is a joke, and reveals nothing. Ofcourse it was TOMAHAWK MISSLE.

C'mon brah, answer the question.
How did the upper 15 stories provide (according to you) the only KE available to destroy the lower 95, if (according to you) it had zero PE prior to collapse initiation?
Don't dodge.
Don't deflect with your standard spam.
Be a man and answer, if you can.

I said the potential energy depends on the amount of EMPTY SPACE under the mass.
The people claiming a gravitation collapse occurred assert that the airliner impact and fire effectively created 12 feet of empty space for the mass to fall through.
We are then supposed to believe that that imparted enough Kinetic Energy to destroy the rest of the building.
But then we are not told how much energy was needed to crush each level below.
And since the thickness of the columns had to increase down the building progressively more energy would be required.
But that increase in steel would also be reflected in the tons of steel on each level, which we are also not told by official sources.

Well, I believe Bazant (if that's who you're referring to) effectively neglected buckling resistance, agreed. If you think it's a significant error, please feel free to provide the amount of KE being "used up" by resistance to buckling. But be aware that others have done this and been shown to be abysmally wrong. So proceed at further risk to the last shred of your credibility.

With 47 core columns with varying thicknesses and it is extremely doubtful they would all buckle.

That is curious. It still shows up on a Google search and says I accessed i 7 times but now the link is dead from there also.
Here is another talking about a 12 foot drop.

Ok.
So what?
Do you have a point?
I can guarantee you that if you have the intellectual honesty to learn and do some research, that you will find that ANY steel framed building, and most likely any steel re-inforced concrete framed building will experience a cascade failure to the ground after a 12' fall if the building is engineered to within the normal range FoS of 2-3.
I guarantee it.
This is simple high school physics that you can do yourself without having any data from the towers.
Make up your own building... make it as big as you want..... load the structure to industry expectations.....it WILL fail..

Steel beams are designed to withstand from one direction normally. The vertical beams of the core are designed for vertical loads. If you hit one from the side from say another steel beam, it will buckle.
Or if you twist a verticle beam it will buckle.
With 47 core columns with varying thicknesses and it is extremely doubtful they would all buckle. Some would be knocked out of alignment and joints with horizontal beams broken.
