Building codes exist for a very simple reason; to ensure the building in question remains upright, structurally sound, and keeps its occupants protected from the elements. They exist to provide ...

Pictured: Example of computational fire modeling in a large industrial manufacturing facility. The model shows the fire location, and outputs information such as heat release rate and visibility, ...

Simulation of wind flows around the model of Austin’s 321 West 6th Street illustrates the E-SE wind direction that resulted in the largest cross-wind response on the 58-story high-rise. The hotter the ...

Position description:The Institute of Bridge Engineering (IBE) is recruiting a PhD student to conduct research on performance-based design and assessment of tunnel structures under fire. The work will ...

Many countries, including the United States, use forms of performance-based regulation to promote safety and reduce risk in high-hazard industries. The term “performance-based” is often used to refer ...

New technologies, innovations, and tools are opening doors for building teams interested in better and yet less-expensive performing arts facilities. A look at design trends for “budget-wise” ...
