This article investigates how across-wind loads impact rectangular tall buildings, what the Eurocode and other global standards say about them, and where these provisions fail to capture the full picture.
This article presents the major considerations in long-span roof design. It explores issues that go beyond basic strength. Each section explains what the engineer must assess, how to evaluate it, and what happens when it is ignored.
This article explores the principles behind robustness checks, their significance, and why treating them as just a code requirement is not enough.
This article explores the structural checks many engineers’ neglects. It focuses on areas often bypassed during analysis, design, or detailing.
