“Construction is the art of making a meaningful whole out of many parts. Buildings are witnesses to the human ability to construct concrete things.” — Peter Zumthor

Not for everyone (especially sleepwalkers) but I love the concept of different levels, the plants and a library accessible on several floors 🤩

The ancient Romans were masters of building and engineering. Even today one of their structures, the Pantheon, is still intact nearly 2,000 years after it was built, a long time for concrete to last. Researchers from MIT may now know why. @ScienceAlert has the story:
Needed a few lengths of concrete beam for another firewood store, but nothing in the right length in my pile.
So I had to cut one of the longer ones. This took some figuring. Initially I thought the answer was the big jangle grinder with masonry disc, but that is most definitely not the answer.
The right answer was chiseling through the concrete until the rebar is accessible. Then cutting that.
But! Cutting rebar under load is dangerous. The solution I came up with is to cut it 90% through and then stop and smash it with a hammer or pickaxe until it goes ping.
Much safer than it pinching the cutting wheel and flinging it at your face or ripping the grinder out of your hands.
@yngmar I'm not exactly sure how I would have approached this particular issue.
Your technique of cutting the rebar most of the way through and then hitting it with a hammer to separate it sounds like a legit diy protip! 👍
Now that looks like a miserable job.
And I thought breaking down big piles of shrubbery was bad.
@wedge Yup, the concrete logs are more challenging than the wooden ones 😁
They cope better with laying on the ground though!
@macst They aren't under load from being prestressed, then they'd just ping apart and no problem. They're loaded because it's impossible to rest the beam level, so they will bend, open on the top and pinch on the bottom usually, just like a hanging log pinching your chainsaw.
That pinching will clamp your cutting wheel and then you can find out how good your safety goggles really are.
In addition, the beam moves once cut, jerking your angle grinder violently.
