This article explores several engineering disasters that reshaped building codes forever.
This article explores how roof geometry shapes strength, span capacity, and stability in large structural designs
This article explores the three most significant systems used in tall buildings: moment-resisting frames, shear walls, and tubular structures.
Historic masonry structures deserve careful protection. Their cultural, architectural, and social significance makes their preservation a shared responsibility. Non-invasive appraisal methods offer a powerful balance between knowledge and respect.
Fire exposes the weaknesses of materials, turning concrete brittle, steel soft, and timber vulnerable
Roof structures chart the progress of engineering across history. From primitive shelters to advanced digital designs, each generation expanded the possibilities of enclosing space.
This article explores causes, progression, detection, remediation, and prevention of reinforcement corrosion. It aims to give engineers a clear background for design, maintenance, and repair decisions.
The central objective in heritage engineering is to preserve fabric wherever possible. Floor systems embody original workmanship and character and once lost they cannot be replaced without loss of authenticity.
Column jacketing improves structural performance in several keyways. It restores or increases axial load capacity, enhances shear resistance, and improves confinement.
