Why is everybody talking abut thickness when the concrete did not break but "eroded?
- wiredfool 10y agoBecause they are arguing from being smart in a different field and experience with things that are several orders of magnitude off the scale of what they're dealing with. Things that work on a laptop with the dev server don't work at scale, and you won't even understand the problems till you've had some theory/experience with the problems that scale adds.
- jacquesm 10y agoAt a guess because they have no experience or knowledge on dimensioning something made out of concrete. You can land an A380 on a runway 17" thick... This was definitely strong enough, just not ready to withstand cavitation and given that bronze ship screws suffer from it it is hard to see what kind of liner would have solved this problem entirely. Solving it completely may ask for a totally different design, likely not a different material or thicker concrete.
