All WTC NIST Reports
All NIST final reports on the WTC collapses at
http://www.nist.gov/el/disasterstudies/wtc/wtc_finalreports.cfm
A summary of the reports:
NIST NCSTAR 1-1: Design, Construction, and Maintenance of Structural and Life Safety Systems
*
NIST NCSTAR 1-2: Baseline Structural Performance and Aircraft Impact Damage Analysis of the World Trade Center Towers
*
NIST NCSTAR 1-3: Mechanical and Metallurgical Analysis of Structural Steel
*
NIST NCSTAR 1-4: Active Fire Protection Systems
*
NIST NCSTAR 1-5: Reconstruction of the Fires in the World Trade Center Towers
*
NIST NCSTAR 1-6: Structural Fire Response and Probable Collapse Sequence of the World Trade Center Towers
*
NIST NCSTAR 1-7: Occupant Behavior, Egress, and Emergency Communication
*
NIST NCSTAR 1-8: The Emergency Response Operations
The NIST explanation for "how and why" the collapses initiated is found in NCSTAR 1-6.
1-6 is subdivided as a main report and 4 supporting technical reports:
* NIST NCSTAR 1-6: Structural Fire Response and Probable Collapse Sequence of the World Trade Center Towers
o NIST NCSTAR 1-6A: Passive Fire Protection
o NIST NCSTAR 1-6B: Fire Resistance Tests of the Floor Truss Systems
o NIST NCSTAR 1-6C: Component, Connection, and Subsystem Structural Analysis
o NIST NCSTAR 1-6D: Global Structural Analysis of the Response of the World Trade Center Towers to Impact Damage and Fire
