is it possible to melt a steel beam using jet fuel?
Absolutely not.
Jet fuel does not melt steel beams, however it can easily turn 200,000 tons of structural steel and concrete into a fine powder from the top down as well as laterally ejecting steel debris hundreds of meters.

How?
What are you planning goat?

Considering that you can melt a steel beam with coal, i'd be incredibly surprised if you couldn't if given the proper forge.

By using that jet fuel to drive a jet aircraft into it at high velocity, and using the remainder to start a large fire.
Yeah I think it was done in that 9/11 event
Don't quote me on this though

Melting is one thing, but if you heat steel above it's creep temperature (starting at a modest 800 degrees fahrenheit) it will immediately start deforming under even the slightest stress (slowly at first, but much quicker as temperature is increased). Essentially, your steel beams turn to play-doh long before they actually melt, and play-doh doesn't hold up a building so well.
Oh yeah, and sage.
>not stating precise quantities
At the right temperature and pressure steel beams will melt all by themselves.
