With the growing demand for resilient, efficient, and low carbon infrastructure, increasing attention has been directed toward novel materials and ...

On Mars, structural loads and the low tensile strength of in-place Martian binders make existing solutions for Martian structures uneconomical because they are based on the terrestrial sources like ...

Severe convective storms generate highly transient and spatially localised wind phenomena, notably downbursts and gust fronts, that impose extreme loads on built infrastructure. Unlike steady synoptic ...

Lightweight and versatile, molded polystyrene foam is a commercial building material that despite being commonly used remains somewhat misunderstood. Frequently identified by the misnomer Styrofoam, ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...
