A new analysis could help architects and builders reduce the carbon footprint of truss structures, the crisscrossing struts that bolster bridges, towers, and buildings. Buildings are a big contributor ...

Buildings are a big contributor to global warming, not just in their ongoing operations but in the materials used in their construction. Truss structures — those crisscross arrays of diagonal struts ...

BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arris, a California-based manufacturing tech pioneer enabling the use of high-performance composites in mass-market products, today announced it has won the GOOD ...

Believe it or not, at one point in my life I was trained as a civil engineer; I'm still a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Colorado. Some of my favorite classes at the university ...

A tubular, open-truss-structured bike-frame tube that requires less material than conventional solid carbon tubes, reducing material cost. A finished bike frame as stiff as that possible with aluminum ...

3D printing and other additive production techniques make it possible to manufacture materials with internal structures of previously unimaginable complexity. This is interesting for lightweight ...

The Alaska Structures GTX-series of gable truss buildings are uniquely suited for commercial, industrial and governmental applications that require large clear-span structures.

A structure is a 3D shape made from different materials and parts. Some can be simple to build, such as a wall. Others can be complex, or harder to build, such as a bridge or a building. The strength ...
