Complex mass timber interacts with a transparent envelope.

Modern design tools and methods help structural engineers reinforce and repair bowstring truss buildings.

Thermal restraint of structures for the design of fire protection has been a point of contention for many years, especially in the world of steel-framed buildings. It is time to shed some light on this topic.

Key parameters influence roofing system selection between standing-seam metal and insulated sandwich panel in modern stadiums.

Adding a solar array canopy to a parking garage requires some structural engineering design but can add value to the owner’s investment.

As more homeowners choose metal buildings over traditional wood-frame construction for vehicle storage and workshop space, structural engineers are increasingly involved in the design review and permitting process for these structures.

Inelastic analysis can be used to identify whether action is needed to mitigate the effects of uneven loading and help determine the best mitigation strategy.

Structural steel, exposed concrete, and mass timber converge to realize the Museum’s interlocking pavilion design.

Applications and methods for modular steel have grown and evolved over the last two decades.

A testing and FEA-based approach was used to determine the resistance of a cold form steel product which did not have readily available technical data.

The structural design of the new University Hospital addressed several challenges, including high-rise-force winds, flood risk, vibration criteria, and an accelerated construction schedule.

Johns Hopkins University’s Stavros Niarchos Foundation Agora Institute maintains an interconnectivity among its three separate volumes through unique staircases, bridges, and a transparent facade.
