Utilizing what's known as a Hungarian algorithm, it was subsequently possible to determine which forks within that database would best meet the load-bearing requirements of a specific Y-shaped node – ...

Briefly, structural masonry is a construction system in which the walls of the building perform a structural function, using masonry units arranged in a way that is self-supporting and load-bearing.

ASU researchers have designed a new method for developing load-bearing structures using a unique method: origami. Origami is not only the art of paper-folding, but is also used more widely to describe ...

Load-bearing structures like bridges and shelters can be made with origami modules -- versatile components that can fold compactly and adapt into different shapes -- engineers have demonstrated. For ...

Custom-fabricated structural bearings are being introduced by Hercules Engineering for extremely high stress applications in structures requiring outstanding load-bearing performance, even in compact ...

Local polymer road solution company Romix has developed products that improve the performance of load-bearing and wear layers of roads while reducing the costs of construction and the impact on the ...

In the pickup truck field, the traditional non-load-bearing body (with a frame) has always been the mainstream design. This structure relies on an independent chassis frame to bear the vehicle's load, ...

Switzerland-based Urbanpv has launched a timber-framed PV solution for car parking lots. Dubbed Urbanroof, the system integrates solar arrays with a wooden load-bearing, wide-span structure.

A historic Grade II-listed building is set to undergo structural repairs after a load-bearing wall was found to not have the ...
