Subject: RE: BS: How high can a brick building go?
Lego Bricks are ABS plastic.
ABS has a compressive strength of 65 MPa, density about 1020 Kgm^-3
Therefore, a uniform solid ABS tower comes out as 6495 meters.
Assuming lego bricks are equally strong in all directions, this should means one third of the materiel does not add to vertical strength (I think), so giving a lego height of 4326 M.
