In the Arab world, structural engineering is inextricably linked to cultural identity. From the soaring domes of mosques to the intricately patterned vaults of souks and madrasas, the engineering solutions crafted over centuries in this region have served both practical and symbolic purposes.

Fire-rated glazing gives more design choices for stairways and elevator enclosures, but they must adhere to code-driven, fire-rated standards.

A harmony of structure and landscape defines Bentonville’s 8th Street Gateway Park, where innovative engineering creates a nearly two-thirds-mile elevated loop and nature-focused spaces throughout the 110-acre site.

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

Designing the balconies at Singh Tower in New Jersey as a reinforced concrete cantilever rather than steel-framed assemblies yielded cost savings and improved constructability.

NCEES offers more than exams for engineers and surveyors. Through the Records Program, Credentials Evaluations, and CPC Tracking, NCEES is here to help engineers and surveyors become licensed in multiple states, track continuing professional competency requirements, and to help international […]

Using simple code, engineers can automate repetitive calculations, verify the accuracy of results, and run quick experimental studies.

How do you protect employees, assets and supply chains from weather-based destruction that seems to be touching every location in the country? Is there anything cost effective that can be done to mitigate the damage that can be caused? The short answer is yes there is, but the time to do it is now.

The integration of machine learning algorithms into structural engineering practice raises critical questions about how professional responsibility should be allocated when these algorithms operate within the design chain.

A 100-year-old landmark synagogue underwent seismic renewal and modernization to extend its use by students, educators, clergy, and congregants.
