When designing a building for lateral loads such as those generated by wind or earthquakes, engineers have several options. Lateral loads may be transferred to the foundation via braced frames or ...
Several significant updates have been added to the new edition of Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, Standards ASCE/SEI 7-16. The recently released ...
A new study published in Engineering presents an innovative computational method for predicting the distribution of blast loads on complex 3D buildings using graph neural networks. The research, led ...
FAIRBANKS — The snow load on Fairbanks roofs is now about 60 percent of the weight new buildings are designed to withstand, but as last week’s events demonstrated, some older buildings can collapse ...
Mass-timber-frame enthusiasts extoll the virtues of the structural material not only because it is renewable but also because building with timber is typically speedier, safer, simpler and quieter ...
From next-generation body armor to new treatments for tuberculosis, marine sponges have plenty to offer the world of science, and now we’re seeing how they might inspire stronger and lighter ...
