As a Structural Engineer, the building is completely damaged, what people don’t realize is that concrete is not very good against seismic load, basically the vibration from the explosion would cause the concrete to destroy itself. It’s extremely difficult for Iran to make concrete stronger than 30ksi(30,000psi) 50ksi is pretty much not achievable for them. The cement in Iran is significantly weaker than the US. Iran is also not accessible to the aggregates needed to reach that strength. My coworkers are from Iran and they know for a fact that even the 30ksi they said in the bunkers is an overstatement. If they wanted a 30ksi concrete or a 50ksi concrete at that point that’s the compressive strength of most steels. It would be stupid to do so.
Let’s see, Fordo was studied for the last 15 years on a daily basis, since construction started. The U.S. knew intricate construction details. My guess is they are still lookin g at it and will do something, when appropriate.
It's so great and refreshing to watch such a positive and patriotic channel! Keep up the great work
