The tall shear wall system was developed through a series of studies and advancements by Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA). “The system is an evolution of many years of our work with composite ...

The new composite material is made of various metallic alloys and nanoscale precipitates, and has a structure that mimics ...

Composite steel‐concrete slabs represent a successful integration of two distinct materials, combining the tensile strength and ductility of steel with the compressive capacity and durability of ...

International collaborations broaden its operational landscape further.

The March 2011 events at Fukushima nuclear power plant have underscored the importance of resiliency of nuclear power plants for beyond-design-basis events (especially seismic related). As a ...

Score another small victory for more-constructible high-rises, especially in seismic zones. Results of recent load tests on a "sandwich" shear-wall assembly, designed to simplify and speed ...

University of Toronto researchers have designed a new composite material that is both very light and extremely strong—even at ...

Stainless steel composite metal foam can replace rolled homogeneous steel armor with the same protection for one-third of the weight. According to the material’s inventor the material would make a ...

What is said to be the first high-volume structural body application in a weatherable, molded-in-color (MIC) carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) debuted on a series of roof receivers ...

NC State researchers say a new metal foam can absorb extreme impact and prevent tank cars from rupturing, offering a ...

October 22, 2007 Researchers at the University of Michigan have created a light-weight, transparent composite plastic that’s as strong as steel. The material mimics the brick-and-mortar molecular ...
