Yes, I did quote those three sentences in a previous a message and then the middle entence alone in a couple of other messages.

I would word that differently. The *insulation* for the columns (and other parts) was rated, not the columns.
So, for the 4th time or so : There was a rating of 3 hours for the insulation under some 'standard' conditions. That doesn't translate at all to "WTC would collapse after 3 hours or so".
The data from my previous message that you seem to have ignored.
"1 of the towers lasted 56 minutes, the other one 1 hour 40 minutes and building 7 stood for ~7 hours "

OK - where's the source for that.

I saw that page. You have to pay to get the docs so not available, sorry.

So why is it that none of the buildings lasted 3 hours? It took a lot less for 2 of the buildings and it took a lot more for one of the buildings.

No it isn't. And it just so happens that the both towers collapsed BEFORE 3 hours. And the other building collapsed 4 hours AFTER the 3 hours mark.

Good =) - At least we got that sorted out...
So obviously the requirements for fireproofing were in the design docs.
