Miami Beach officials ordered the evacuation of the 14-story Port Royale Condominium building on Oct. 27, after a structural engineer determined the 50-year-old building to be unsafe due to the ...

GDA Architects designed the $90 million Confluence building at Riverfront Park in Denver, Colorado as a modern 34-story tower. With 288 luxury multifamily apartments, the Confluence was designed to be ...

In civil engineering, flexural beams are used to control the effect of vibrations that can cause cracks to appear in surfaces (concrete slabs) and beams. This is particularly important in buildings ...

The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...

The problems resulting from building deflection have likely troubled builders since the very first multistory building. Deflection is the bending of joists, trusses or rafters associated with ...

Reshoring meant to prevent concrete slab deflection under its own weight, similar to that shown in this photo of another project above, became a point of controversy among the Philadelphia hotel ...

When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...

We all know floor lines are there for a reason, flexibility. Unfortunately, this makes your designs less flexible. Luckily, Knight Wall Systems, a manufacturing company with 17 years of working ...
