Tonia Perkins <br />July 31, 2024 <br />Page 12 <br />Agapito Associates, Inc. <br />one web pillar in the center of one panel was removed to see if the remaining pillars could absorb <br />the additional load. <br />Results of the cascading failure analysis for the North M and Q seams are presented in Figures 8 <br />and 9, respectively, with vertical stress distributions in (a) and resulting safety factors in (b). <br />Results for the South M and Q seams are presented in Figures 10 and 11. In each case, the load <br />transfer to the two adjacent pillars causes an increase in stress and a decrease in the safety factors <br />of those pillars, but they remain in a stable condition. The effect of the stress redistribution from <br />the removal of one pillar in the M Seam is also not significant in the Q Seam.
