A Structural Reevaluation of the Collapse of World Trade Center 7

"The principal conclusion of our study is that fire did not cause the collapse of WTC 7 on 9/11, contrary to the conclusions of NIST and private engineering firms that studied the collapse. The secondary conclusion of our study is that the collapse of WTC 7 was a global failure involving the near-simultaneous failure of every column in the building."

Fire did not cause World Trade Center Building 7 collapse, UAF study suggests

EXCERPTS
It’s been a point of controversy for more than a decade. Now, researchers from the University of Alaska Fairbanks are weighing in.

World Trade Center Building 7 was not struck by a plane, but collapsed hours after the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001. A draft report released this week by researchers at UAF suggests that the fall was not a result of fires, despite the findings of the National Institute for Standards and Technology, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, in 2008.

The study was paid for by a group called Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. The nonprofit is said to represent over 3,000 architects and engineers who have signed a petition calling on Congress to launch a new investigation into the destruction of the towers.

Dr. Leroy Hulsey, a civil engineering professor at UAF, led the four-year study. According to the Institute of Northern Engineering’s website, the objective was to examine the structural response of WTC 7 to fire loads that may have occurred that day, rule out scenarios that couldn’t have caused its collapse and identify types of failures that may have caused the fall.

The UAF team’s findings contradict those of the 2008 NIST report, which concluded that WTC 7 was the first tall building ever to collapse primarily due to fire.

According to the NIST report, debris from the north WTC tower (WTC 1) ignited fires on at least 10 floors in WTC 7. Fires on some of the lower floors burned out of control. NIST said the automatic sprinkler system on those floors failed, causing the fires to spread…

…”We virtually simulated the building and we looked at that analysis and we also virtually simulated what they did, we couldn’t get it to do what they did,” Hulsey said…

…Ted Walter, the director of strategy for the group, says one of its supporters approached Dr. Hulsey about the research partly because of UAF’s reputation…
…Walter says the project budget, $316,153, also covered the time that Hulsey and the research team spent on the study….
