Cold formed steel studs (CFSS), typically used in nonstructural partition walls, were studied to determine if they could be used to laterally restrain braces against buckling and thus enhance their ...

Buckling Restrained Braces application to provide more resilient bridges have been subjected to cyclic displacement histories representative of yearly thermal demands and of earthquake excitations.

Building codes will be changing soon, now that a study at UC San Diego found a common steel building column won’t withstand the stress of a strong earthquake. KPBS Science and technology reporter ...

Cylindrical shell structures are widely employed across engineering sectors such as aerospace, marine, and civil construction, owing to their high strength-to-weight ratios and efficiency in material ...
