If structural engineers have their way, building codes will take a leap forward in the next couple of years to allow the use of higher-strength 80-ksi reinforcing steel in concrete shear walls in high ...

The 190-ft-tall Brock Commons Tallwood House at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, is the tallest mass-timber frame in the Western Hemisphere. In the U.S., Brock, which has ...

Topic: Comparison of Steel Tensile Strengths Objective: The rescue team will better understand advanced steel tensile strength ratings and how they relate to that of mild or high-strength steel. Task: ...

Automotive, aerospace and defence applications require metallic materials with ultra-high strength. However, in some particular high-loading structural applications, metallic materials shall also have ...

Over the last 10 years, steelmakers around the world have developed new structural-grade steels with higher tensile strengths and yields. This progress has enabled producers to use lighter section ...

Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy. Although pure iron is not intrinsically strong, adding carbon imparts great strength to this material. Crude iron, which is used in steel production, has a high ...

SAN FRANCISCO (CN) – Independent engineers say California has not studied the effect of potentially weaker steel in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge thoroughly enough to conclude that the bridge ...
