I certainly added beyond the simple deflection calculation that he

You and Clarke were jerking each other off about deflection when the
primary problem was related to the perimeter loading.

This is the same kind of crap that goes on in the endless 'lecktricity
threads.

The only reason that the real engineers, who lurk on this newsgroup,
don't respond and smack your head, is that they would be giving
professional advice in a situation where they might be liable but
could never profit.

The OP has a situation that could result in damage to the structure
and injury to the occupants if things go wrong.

You and Clarke should sit down and have a nice cup of "shut the ****
up" when the situation is such that it could result in harm to another
person.

I don't have a problem with you generally, Bozarth, but in this
situation you could get someone hurt.
