The world’s tallest buildings represent humanity’s remarkable capacity to overcome architectural and engineering challenges, ...

Study, Design, and Improve the Future of Buildings With a Graduate Certificate in Building Design From MTU. Building engineers are the foundation of any modern society. From evaluating structures, ...

Exciting and unique buildings increasingly dot the landscape of our urban environments and beautifully fill the pages of our design magazines. Conversely, over the past half century the construction ...

Structural engineering — a specialty within the field of civil engineering — focuses on the framework of structures, and on designing those structures to withstand the stresses and pressures of their ...

Structural engineers are familiar with seventeenth-century scientist Robert Hooke's theory that a hanging chain will mirror the shape of an upstanding rigid arch. However, new research now shows that ...

Utilize advanced techniques to evaluate structures. Advanced analysis is necessary for structures that are complex, exhibit finite deformations, are loaded beyond their first yield point, or ...

In civil and structural engineering, the word “safe” is often used as the ultimate benchmark of good design. If a structure does not collapse under design loads and meets code requirements, it is ...

Civil/Structural engineers design and maintain buildings, bridges, and other structures constructed from various materials (concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and reinforced plastics). They use modern ...
