The Fraser Mills Presentation Centre in Greater Vancouver is an exhibition of mass timber engineering.

Building tall with mass timber is becoming increasingly more feasible as strides are made to innovate within the tall timber space. The Tall Timber Student Housing project at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) in Burnaby, British Columbia, is the first of the next generation of point-supported CLT structures and represents a significant advancement in tall, hybrid, mass timber construction.

We’re making HSS connection design easier. HSS continues to grow in popularity. Due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, ability to accommodate long unbraced lengths, and exceptional torsion resistance, HSS makes up an estimated 18% of the current domestic structural steel […]

ATLAS FABRICATES THE FUTURE The venue’s massive, semispherical frame sits just south of Sands Avenue and east of Las Vegas Boulevard. The Sphere’s revolutionary design takes up 750,000 square feet and comfortably seats 18,500 concertgoers. It boasts an eye-catching steel […]

Developing code provisions for a class of buildings that are relatively similar is difficult. A better approach is to define the problem, present information on past building performance during earthquakes, and then let the structural engineer decide on the appropriate design.

The collapse of the condo in Surfside, Florida, underscores important lessons for the structural engineering community.

A landslide incident on a gentle slope serves as a reminder of the importance of site investigation, desk study, and checking of overall global stability.

The comprehensive rehabilitation of a Silicon Valley high school used a composite solution.

SE firms face new challenges in the coming years, but strategic and proactive preparations can help firms take advantage of new opportunities.

A new, free database provides engineers with reference-built examples demonstrating the successful implementation of circular construction practices.

Risk management strategies, innovative technologies, and stakeholder engagement together can lead to structures that are better able to withstand disruptive events.

ACI 318-25 anchoring provisions reduce conservatism, clarify usage, and account for the effects of reliability and redundancy, plus major updates to breakout calculation of reinforcing bar groups have been added.
