Focusing on Fatigue
Properly designed and maintained bridges sometimes need repair for fatigue damage. Among the reasons may be that the bridge was designed before current fatigue design provisions, or initial...
Columnless in Chicago
The United Center in Chicago is now home to the Bulls basketball team and the Blackhawks hockey team. The arena features luxury suites, a column-free interior and unobstructed views. An...
Civilian Structures: Taking the Defensive
The 1992 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center in New York posed a challenging question to the engineering community: Can we design cost-effective structural systems for public and...
