A chilled beam is an air distribution device with an integral coil that may be installed within a space in order to provide sensible cooling and heating. There are two main types of chilled beams: ...

Composite beams have become an integral element in modern structural engineering, combining dissimilar materials to exploit their complementary mechanical properties. This field of study encompasses ...

Construction projects across the U.S. have been struggling with long delays, but one Houston industrial project is running ahead of schedule thanks to an innovative new design that removes the need ...

Scan the skyline of New York City and it’s almost everywhere you look. Same thing with Chicago and Philadelphia and just about any big city where the buildings poke into the sky. Everyone knows ...

A recent series of dynamic tests demonstrates that there are several types and doses of steel-fiber reinforcement that can be used in performance-based seismic design of coupling beams—headers that ...

The exhibition design “Beam” by Ryuji Nakamura does not need walls to create partition the space into separate rooms – only beams. The Tokyo-based architecture office Ryuji Nakamura & Associates has ...

This stellar example of post-and-beam design by Calvin B. Straub shares a personal connection to the noted architect. The Pasadena home was designed by and built for Straub in 1957 — around the same ...

What prompted the MIT team to research and develop a nanoscale "flashlight"? Details on the metasurface that was designed to create the source-beam collimator. How a DNN, CNN, and machine learning ...

After years of virtual classrooms and online courses, September 2022 marks the restart of the new normal. We find students returning to classrooms, pencils sharpened, and brand new foundations in ...
