    Yes, that's the case. And I think your analysis is pretty much spot on.

    I don't really think the deformation issue is that important but I was re-reading the expert report and figured that a...

    To your first point, I was able to use a tape measure and Sketchup to get within ~1% of their expert's volume measurements...before we got their expert's measurements.

    As for your second point,...

    There is literally no contract language about this, except invoices recognizing "3 YD" dumpsters. All other dumpster measurements are close to accurate, as far as we can tell.

    I disagree with your first premise. If your choices are 1.5, 2, or 3 yards, and the smaller sizes measure true to size, but the 3-yard ones do not, isn't that problematic? It sure seems like it to...

    The lids add volume. There are several different "3 YD" models. The smaller ones are 2.44 cubic yards measured in a flat plane across the top. The addition of a lid gets them to 2.52 yards.

    So if someone was providing "3 YD" dumpster service but the dumpsters measure exactly 2.5 cubic yards, by their expert's own admission, you'd think it was "out of compliance"?

    Ok, but consider a top rail. If you bend a straight piece of metal, the straightline distance between the two ends gets shorter, right? Does that not happen with the sides of a dumpster if the front...

  11. Q for engineers & others: Will the volume of a steel box change when deformed?

    This might be plane on a treadmill adjacent, but it is a serious question for engineers, know-it-alls, and other dorks:

    Consider a steel dumpster that is ostensibly 3 cubic yards in size. As it is...
