Unlike ocean piers that battle constant waves and require industrial-strength engineering, this structure has a more ... Tuesday has been replaced by the hypnotic sound of water gently lapping against ...

UCSD’s Englekirk Structural Engineering Center is testing a 10-story cold steel-form structure on the world’s largest shake ...

A structural engineer says most modern buildings are built to rigorous standards that help protect them during an earthquake and explains vulnerabilities certain structures have that put them at risk.

When materials are created on a nanometer scale -- just a handful of atoms thick -- even the thermal energy present at room temperature can cause structural ripples. How these ripples affect the ...

Structural safety is critical to preventing failures that can lead to catastrophic consequences, including economic losses and threats to human life.

Today's super-resolution microscopes have made it possible to observe the nanoscale world with unprecedented detail. However, they require fluorescent tags, which reveal structural details but provide ...

Discover the cultural legacy of bamboo scaffolding in Hong Kong's architecture and its impact on modern construction ...

Discover how part orientation affects strength, finish, and efficiency in 3D printing. Learn optimization techniques that ...

The Francis College of Engineering has been recognized as exemplar and with a Bronze Award for the inaugural ASEE Diversity Recognition Program. The ASEE Diversity Recognition Program (ADRP) was ...

Animal locomotion is fundamentally built upon reciprocal, cyclic motion, which provides efficiency, low-control complexity and adaptability to the environment. Song Li and colleagues introduce ...

Tissue engineering is a set of methods that can replace or repair damaged or diseased tissues with natural, synthetic, or semisynthetic tissue mimics. These mimics can either be fully functional ...

Structural Engineering with Architecture is concerned with the planning, design, construction, sustainability, management, energy use, aesthetics and rehabilitation of the built environment. Fields of ...
