Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

The concept of distributed electric propulsion units has great potential on the track to zero-emission aircraft. Investigations raise expectations that distributed propulsion engines improve the ...

Writers of standards—both for general structural design and, in particular, structural steel design—rolled out their 2010 versions this month, completed in time to be referenced in the upcoming 2012 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Piping systems are often not self-supporting because of routing, length, and weight factors. Weight loads include the weights of pipes, ...

“Poor conceptual designs, inherently defective structural design and poor execution of work at site, coupled with use of substandard construction material and certain bad practices of construction” ...
