This article explains the full concept of partial factors, their development, calibration, and application across different materials and load types.
This article explains principles, design methodologies, analysis techniques, failure modes, code provisions, and practical strategies against the disproportionate collapse of structures.
Column jacketing improves structural performance in several keyways. It restores or increases axial load capacity, enhances shear resistance, and improves confinement.
This article explores the major updates that affect structural engineers working on timber frame designs. It focuses on shear transfer mechanisms, racking wall performance, enhanced connection modelling, and service life provisions.
This article explains how to model structures realistically within static linear assumptions. It focuses on boundary conditions, load application, geometry simplifications, and model stability.
Parametric design and visual scripting form a methodological bridge between conceptual intent and structural performance. These tools encode decisions, by transforming repetitive modelling into intelligent systems that adapt to constraints and goals.
Torsion is a fundamental aspect of structural behaviour. In asymmetric buildings, it becomes a governing factor. It alters load paths, stresses, and deformation.
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 explores the dangers of neglecting initial imperfections in slender columns. It outlines failure mechanisms, relevant design codes, case examples, and best practices for safer engineering.
