The tall shear wall system was developed through a series of studies and advancements by Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA). “The system is an evolution of many years of our work with composite ...
Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns represent a mature yet evolving area of structural engineering. By encasing concrete within a steel tube, these composite members harness the compressive ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — State-of-the-art methods in steel and concrete composite construction are the focus of a new series of online courses from Purdue University’s top-ranked Lyles School of Civil ...

An innovative second-generation steel-composite modular construction system that is planned for use in GE Hitachi’s (GEH’s) BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) plant could dramatically reduce the ...
In an earthquake, a bridge is designed to take the brunt of the damage at the top and bottom of the vertical columns where they meet the foundation and the horizontal beams. If a bridge survives from ...
Near the water in downtown Seattle, there's about to be a skyscaper unlike anything the city—and, well, the world—has seen. A 38-story tower will sit a full 85 feet off the ground, creating a open ...
