🏭 Tall Chimney Felling: Toppling Physics, Hinge Rotation and Mid-Height Break-up

Rigid-rod toppling of a tall disused masonry chimney about its base hinge, the bending-moment curve that decides where it snaps in mid-fall, and ground impact of the fragments.

⚙ Under the hood

Rigid-rod toppling of a tall disused masonry chimney about its base hinge, with the beam-equation bending-moment curve that decides where it snaps in mid-fall, fragment dynamics and ground impact. Unlike the existing domino and block-toppling labs it is a structural-mechanics study of a single tapered shaft, with strength, notch, wind and tip-speed experiments.
