For over a century, wood pole structures have been used to support overhead powerlines. Over time, as the utility industry expanded, the basic wood pole structure has evolved, but regardless of ...

In fabrication and construction, the composition and grade of the steel plate materials used have a tremendous effect on the end product. Abrasion-resistant steel plate is a normal steel plate that ...

The 19-story 200 Park Avenue project in San Jose, Calif., is taking SpeedCore to the next level by eliminating most of the spray-applied fire protection. SpeedCore. SpeedFloor. SpeedConnection.

A team in earthquake-prone Seattle is daring to deliver an 850-ft-tall “proof of concept” for a composite structural-steel frame, instead of a steel frame around a reinforced concrete core. For the ...
