What is a Uniform Load? The outside effort acting on a structure is known as the load. Typically, the load alters the structure’s shape, which can lead to plastic deformation. It is described as a ...

In civil and structural engineering, the word “safe” is often used as the ultimate benchmark of good design. If a structure does not collapse under design loads and meets code requirements, it is ...

Gust load alleviation is a crucial topic for the practical application of high-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial ...

A new design process that uses generative design but also seeks feedback from humans is more effective at producing designs that are fully optimized for their purpose. Modern fabrication tools such as ...

The probable cause of the American Airlines Flight 587 crash on Nov. 12, 2001, was "in-flight separation of the vertical stabilizer as a result of the loads beyond ultimate design that were created by ...

NASA and Space Launch System (SLS) Core Stage prime contractor Boeing are in the middle of a busy period of testing structural test articles (STA) at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, ...

What Is It Made Of? Unlike other soil types for construction, structural fill is carefully selected and processed to ensure it meets stringent engineering standards. It is composed mostly of inorganic ...
