Did they melt prior to the building collapse, or after it was in a pile and burning for weeks in an insulated environment where it acts as a kiln?

You can see the molten steel flowing down the remaining columns in streams, the boots of the workers melted from the heat, there was some beneath the rubble but there was also a large open pool in the photos taken at the time. The firefighters discussed it in detail in some videos. There are photos of partially molten beams as well.

Would a kiln effect have contributed to the length of time it remained molten, probably. The first question to ask is what would have driven the steel to such a consistency in the first place.

Go look at the photos of the molten steel flowing down the girders, it was from the nano thermite. A kilm effect could hold some level heat, it would not create it, cannot maintain it for any length of time without a source.

The initial heat came from the molten steel, it was maintained by additional molten steel flowing into the cauldron created in the basement of the tower,which was open in large measure. Again, go look at the photos, the reports of firemen and construction workers.
