Several significant updates have been added to the new edition of Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, Standards ASCE/SEI 7-16. The recently released ...

As a firm, we’re working on project number 10,000. We started at 500. I always get a chuckle when someone jabs us with, “You’re an engineer, what do you know about construction?” As building ...

Thermal effects can increase or decrease bolt load and clamping capability. Measuring the angle of nut rotation can sometimes be used to gage preload. Modeling the ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

Realistic conceptual design loads in the early phase of the overall aircraft design for the mass estimation of fuselage and wing play an important role in the overall aircraft assessment for new ...

This constant resistance dummy load has not yet been tested in the real world. [YS] was inspired to come up with the circuit after reading Wednesday’s Re:load dummy load post. That was a constant ...

The Load Analysis and Aeroelastic Design department deals with issues that arise in the design of aircraft with regard to aeroelastic properties and aeroelastic requirements. Furthermore, developments ...
