Believe it or not, at one point in my life I was trained as a civil engineer; I'm still a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Colorado. Some of my favorite classes at the university ...

Researchers have found that the selection of steel cable structural system for long spans has considerably less environmental impact than a steel truss system to achieve the same structural ...

From bridges to industrial roofs, advanced truss design combines engineering precision, construction best practices, and powerful software to deliver stronger, more efficient structures. Modern ...

The staggered-truss structural system incorporating steel trusses was developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the late 1960s. However, designers' interest in the system has lagged ...

Wood truss construction surged in popularity in the 1960s and ’70s, but back then most buildings that used metal-plate-connected wood trusses had flat ceilings. With today’s CAD and BIM technology, ...

Arris, a California-based manufacturing tech pioneer enabling the use of high-performance composites in mass-market products, announced it has won the GOOD DESIGN Award for its revolutionary carbon ...
