Design engineers routinely rely on bolted joints, yet most guidance focuses on axial stiffness—often overlooking moment (pitch) stiffness, which can dominate compliance in ...

Behold the beam, an amazing structural element that bends when loaded — but one that must not bend too much. A fallen tree spanning the banks of a river was perhaps the first beam used by primitive ...

What is a Uniform Load? The outside effort acting on a structure is known as the load. Typically, the load alters the structure’s shape, which can lead to plastic deformation. It is described as a ...

Arup's’ research into alternative production techniques and materials has focused on the potential of 3D printing metal in the construction sector. Complex and individually designed steel structural ...
