Re: (TFT) Animated TFT Battles
So the quick notes;
1 pt ST = 5.5 foot pounds force.
ST 10 is Joe Average with 55 pounds of "force" tying loosely to the
weight of "work" with a surprising and well populated range of items
and labor products measured more or less in the neighborhood of 55lbs
from rucksacks and bags of 1000 drachma sized gold pieces to bushels,
pecks and other units of agriculture expected to be gathered in an
hours work and so forth and so on... so not only encumbrance but also
work gets covered here and encumbrance gets a kick in the head from ST
100 which is equal to 1 HP which ties engines and vehicles nicely in
with encumbrance and work... oh yeah and a new factor of ST I call pST
for passive ST is in there for some armor damage effects... like so;
Building Materials
Wood
Very Weak = 50 to 60 pST
(walls)
Balsam Poplar 26lbs per ft^3
Northern White Cedar 22
Weak = 60 to 70 pST

30 pST doors ain't gonna cut it
Structural Lumber E(modulus of elasticity) = 1,600,000psi
Concreate E = 3,100,000psi, 1.93 or ~ x2 Lumber
Structural Steel = 29,000,000psi, or ~ x18 Lumber and ~ x9 Concreate
Loads
Wind, Thermal, Settlement, and Earthquake Loads fall under Damage.
These will prove useful for describing large scale effects.
For Basic purposes, external forces such as wind can be considered as
additions to the Live Load.
Dead Loads
The weight of the Building itself, based off its materials.
Determines maximum Building sizes, defencive pST, etc.

Floor Tile, per in. 10
Wood block, per in. 4
Cinder-concrete, fill, per in. 8
Stone-concrete slab, per in. 12
Slag-concrete slab, per in. 10
Roofs
Cement tile 15 to 20 lbs per ft^2
Clay Shingle 12 to 14
Wood shingle 3
Spanish tile 8 to 10
1/4 in. Slate 9.5
3/8 in. Slate 12 to 14.5
2 in. Book tile 12
Wood sheathing, 1 in. 3
Skylight, 3/8 in. glass, iron frame 7.5
Walls and Partitions
8in Brick (single) 80
12in Brick (double) 120
17in Brick (triple) 160
4in Clay-tile 20
2in Solid plaster 20
4x2 stud, plastered 20
4in Glass block 18
Masonry
Granite ashlar 165
Limestone ashlar 160
Sandstone ashlar 140
Common brick 120
Pressed brick 140
Concrete, plain stone 145
Concrete, cinder 110
Limestone rubble 150
Sandstone rubble 130
(reinforced concrete) 150
Live Loads
The weight of Figures and Items in the Building.
Private rooms, suites 40 lbs per ft^2
Fixed seating, classroom 60
Offices 80
Public Spaces, corridors 100
Factories 125
