Damage and Failure Modes of Structural Steel Components. Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST NCSTAR 1-3C) ***DRAFT for Public Comments***

September 1, 2005
Author(s)
Stephen W. Banovic, Timothy J. Foecke
This report describes damage characteristics, failure modes, and fire-related degradation of the recovered structural components from the World Trade Center (WTC) 1 and WTC 2. Assessment of the structural components was divided into pre- and post-collapse

Mechanical and Metallurgical Analysis of Structural Steel. Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST NCSTAR 1-3) ***DRAFT for Public Comments***

September 1, 2005
Author(s)
Frank W. Gayle, Richard J. Fields, William E. Luecke, Stephen W. Banovic, Timothy J. Foecke, Christopher N. McCowan, Joseph D. McColskey, Thomas A. Siewert
This report is an overview of the results of the mechanical and metallurgical analysis of structural steel from the World Trade Center (WTC), part of the National institute of Standards and Technology Investigation of the WTC disaster of September 11, 2001

Mechanical Properties of Structural Steels. Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST NCSTAR 1-3D) ***DRAFT for Public Comments***

September 1, 2005
Author(s)
William E. Luecke, Joseph D. McColskey, Christopher N. McCowan, Stephen W. Banovic, Richard J. Fields, Timothy J. Foecke, Thomas A. Siewert, Frank W. Gayle
This report provides five types of mechanical properties for steels from the World Trade Center (WTC): elastic, room-temperature tensile, room-temperature high strain rate, impact, and elevated-temperature tensile. Specimens of 29 different steels

Physical Properties of Structural Steels. Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST NCSTAR 1-3E) ***DRAFT for Public Comments***

September 1, 2005
Author(s)
Stephen W. Banovic, Christopher N. McCowan, William E. Luecke
This report describes the physical properties of the structural steel recovered from the World Trade Center (WTC) towers. Analytical techniques were used to determine and evaluate the chemistry, microstructure, and thermal properties of the steels. While

Evolution of Deformation Induced Surface Morphologies Generated in Fe-based Sheet

March 1, 2005
Author(s)
Mark R. Stoudt, Joseph B. Hubbard, Stephen W. Banovic
The complex strain states that exist within a real metal stamping are likely to generate different surface morphologies when compared to the same level of plastic strain produced via single pass deformation. This study quantifies the surface morphology

Through-Thickness Texture Inhomogeneity in a Recrystallized Al-Mg Alloy

March 1, 2005
Author(s)
J -. Liu, Stephen W. Banovic, Frank S. Biancaniello, Rodney D. Jiggetts
Through-thickness texture of a rolled and recrystallized Al-Mg continuous cast alloy was examined using electron backscattered diffraction. Results showed the recrystallization texture through thickness of the sheet was inhomogeneous with Cube 001}

Effect of Uniaxial Strain on the Surface Roughness of Pure MG and MG-AZ31 Alloy

February 21, 2005
Author(s)
Mark R. Stoudt, A -. Munitz, Stephen W. Banovic, Richard J. Fields
Pure Mg and Mg AZ31 alloy samples were deformed in uniaxial tension and the resultant surface topographies were characterized with optical microscopy, scanning laser confocal microscopy (SCLM) and scanning electron microsopy (SEM) techniques. Initial

FORENSIC STUDY OF THE STEEL IN THE WORLD TRADE CENTER

December 30, 2004
Author(s)
Thomas A. Siewert, Joseph D. McColskey, Christopher N. McCowan, Frank W. Gayle, William E. Luecke, Stephen W. Banovic, Timothy J. Foecke, Richard J. Fields
In September of 2002, the National Institute of Standards and Technology began a two-year investigation into the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster of September 11, 2001. Now almost complete, the investigation addresses many aspects of the catastrophe, from

The Structural Steel of the World Trade Center Towers

October 1, 2004
Author(s)
Frank W. Gayle, Stephen W. Banovic, Timothy J. Foecke, Richard J. Fields, William E. Luecke, Joseph D. McColskey, Thomas A. Siewert, Christopher N. McCowan
In September 2002, the National Institute of Standards and Technology became the lead agency in an investigation of the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster of September 11, 2001. The investigation addresses many aspects of the catastrophe, from occupant

Material Model for Strain-Induced Surface Roughening of Sheet Metal

May 1, 2002
Author(s)
Y Shim, Mark R. Stoudt, Lyle E. Levine, Stephen W. Banovic, Richard J. Fields
A generic model for strain-induced surface roughening has been derived from a statistical analysis of experimental data from aluminum alloys. The model predicts the surface roughening in sheet metal as a function of strain and grain size. Our analyses

Corrosion Behavior of Weldable Fe-Al Alloys in Oxidizing-Sulfidizing Environments

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
Stephen W. Banovic, J N. DuPont, A R. Marder
Weld overlay coatings are typically used to protect existing low alloy steel water-wall panels from accelerated sulfidation attack in fossil-fired boilers with advanced low NO x burners. A material system presently under consideration for use as a cladding
