In civil and structural engineering, the word “safe” is often used as the ultimate benchmark of good design. If a structure does not collapse under design loads and meets code requirements, it is ...

A new design process that uses generative design but also seeks feedback from humans is more effective at producing designs that are fully optimized for their purpose. Modern fabrication tools such as ...

• Structural properties of bolted joints depend on bolt and clamped-member stiffnesses. • Clamped members can be treated as a sleeve or hollow cylinder. Sound designs of bolted joints rely on a good ...

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 ...

The decision to lift a building off the ground is a technical maneuver that requires substantial planning, expertise, and careful consideration. It is a deliberate architectural response to the site's ...

The latest ASCE/SEI 7-22 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures standard contains some notable changes. “Structural engineers should be aware of significant ...
