This is mainly to account for the situation in a fire, where the heating of the pillars causes the gas in the enclosed space to expand, leading to the pillars bursting.

Weld porosity, to prevent cracks in the weld caused by expansion.

This is a welding porosity issue; there have been previous posts discussing such pores, and they are all oriented downward.

It’s probably to prevent explosions and for exhaust, right?
