Why not drop from lower heights and use scaling laws to factor up to the desired heights

Depends on the amount of impurities in the graphite sheets. So if I were you in would assume a number of values to assess the sensitivity of the resistivity of graphite to your work. Then source the best, in terms of purity, material to suit your work

For a start sign convention: ∧ +ve & >+ve ∑v=0 -24 + CCos70 = TCos40 +12 ∑h=0 -CSin70 = TSin40 +45 from here you should be able to get answer

Short answer no. Long answer it depends on the designed for load path. If you have a standard arrangement of primary and secondary beams to columns then the force as a result of floor slabs should be carried by the beams to the columns, columns to the to the foundations. With only slight...
