Heavy Steel Frames: Fabricated from hot-rolled steel sections, heavy steel frames are significantly thicker—often above 6 mm—and heavier. They are used in buildings where high load-bearing capacity is ...

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego’s (UCSD) Jacobs School of Engineering have applied post-tensioning, a technique commonly used in the construction of concrete buildings and ...

Precision welding brings this large steel structure together as sparks fly across the workshop floor. Every joint is measured ...

Tubular Buildings are growing in usage as garages with living quarter or Barndominiums, or “barndos”. These buildings are hybrid metal structures that combine living quarters with a shop, barn, or ...

For over a century, wood pole structures have been used to support overhead powerlines. Over time, as the utility industry expanded, the basic wood pole structure has evolved, but regardless of ...

Faster delivery of buildings isn’t always associated with sustainability benefits or long-term value, but things are changing. An instructive case is in the development of steel structures that not ...
