  • Focused on lowering stresses for Top 30 wall case

  • Added a total of 12 longitudinal reinforcement tubes to try to add more resistance to bending during impact

    • all 1” square tubing

    • Testing the effects of a greater wall thickness (0.113”)

  • Note: there are currently interferences with floor panels, changes can be made to the reinforcement placement later
