For over a century, wood pole structures have been used to support overhead powerlines. Over time, as the utility industry expanded, the basic wood pole structure has evolved, but regardless of ...

A team of engineers is testing a six-story, lightweight steel-frame building on the world’s largest outdoor seismic shake table this month at the University of California, San Diego. The goal is to ...

Fatigue life is a key concern in welded-steel frames for mobile equipment that experience large and varying dynamic loads. For engineers who design welded-steel structures subject to dynamic loading, ...

The framing system for Bone Structure homes is made of steel tubes manufactured in factories and designed to connect together on-site. Photo courtesy Bone Structure. It was the aspiration of ...

A team in earthquake-prone Seattle is daring to deliver an 850-ft-tall “proof of concept” for a composite structural-steel frame, instead of a steel frame around a reinforced concrete core. For the ...

During the 1850s, due to the manufacturing processes being developed in Britain by Sir Henry Bessemer, it became possible – in theory – to produce sufficient steel of adequate quality to make it an ...
