So I don’t know if I’ve come to the right place, but I need some help regarding a little project I have going on.
In this project I have a model that has two floors, the upper needs to be able to hold a certain amount of weight. This upper floor is supported by triangular pillars.
Now to my problem, on one side of the floor I have a somewhat small but long rectangular area that I can use for pillars. Not knowing if the material I have chosen is going to be able to support the weight, should I use one long isosceles triangle (that is stretched out from one end to the other of the rectangular area) or two equilateral triangles?
No problem! It's not like ours is a field that deals with, oh, sketches, diagrams, drawings, images, and graphic depictions of all kinds to describe every possible condition and relationship or anything. Imprecise vocabulary fumbling toward incomplete description will do just fine.
What will be stronger/more stable?

Pillars.
stacks of interns also works, I'm told.
last I checked... stack of interns is statically indeterminate
Remember the two most important notes you can put on drawings: BAB & BAC.
The code reads: "Interns, once fully exhaled..." We can't have structural failure just because someone burps or farts. Come on, people!
(Also allowed: use of very small interns as shims to achieve level floors.)
