The primary goal of the tests is to determine if height limits for cold-formed steel-framed buildings can be increased.

Working with a San Antonio designer and builder, the five-bedroom, 5½-bath house has been redone room by room.

Drive into a expert look at how Bengkirai wood is being cut to create beams for a project that began last year. Bengkirai, known for its durability and strength, is an ideal choice for building ...

Chinese solar manufacturer Trina Solar has announced a novel load-bearing solution for areas with heavy snowfall. Dubbed “PV Support,” the new mounting system solution was developed with ...

They got an increase of about 20 to 40% in the capacity of load of the reinforced structural piece. Belperio & Grad (1999) 2 present a theoretical analysis comparing the suffered strain for glulam ...

A bearing, like the name suggests, bears or supports the load that one machine part puts on another, facilitating a desired motion—e.g., sliding, turning or rolling.

However, factors such as cross-sectional height of the tie beam and arrangement of sandwich buckle frames exerted considerable influence on both displacement and load-bearing ratios for these ...

Mass timber refers to complexes that use structural load-bearing components made of wood, often in multiple layers that are glued, dowelled or nailed and laminated together.

Uber driver Derek Gooderham was zipping along on Interstate 83 when a wave of wood planks tumbled from the lumber truck, sliding down a hill and sweeping his car off the road.

Therefore, acetylation and furfurylation is a promising strategy for achieving chemical resistance in load-bearing wooden components. This is particularly relevant in construction industry and in ...

Lighter than concrete or steel but strong enough for use in load-bearing beams and columns, mass timber has environmental and construction virtues that could dramatically change the building landscape ...
