Resonant core columns

[femr2]

You stated this: "There was plenty of lateral internal core bracing left..." Are you withdrawing that statement now?

No, clarifying it. For the lower core remnant, yes, plenty leteral core beam connections remain. For the upper almost singular columns, clearly not.

If you're seeing a rhombus like motion, then the connections between the elements that make up the spire are pinned. This means that the lateral system is simply the cantilevered columns. These columns may be braced near the base, but the height above the base is cantilevered.

I'll do the tracing so there's data to work from.

There would be an immense number of ad-hom attacks against you and the mods would look the other way unless it got too obvious. I'm all too aware of the hypocrisy in this sub-forum.

Thanks for the candid answer.
