The tall shear wall system was developed through a series of studies and advancements by Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA). “The system is an evolution of many years of our work with composite ...

Score another small victory for more-constructible high-rises, especially in seismic zones. Results of recent load tests on a "sandwich" shear-wall assembly, designed to simplify and speed ...

Wabash National patented a method for producing a composite core member for tractor trailer panels. The process involves inserting an intermediate core member between two strips of reinforced material ...

A three-person peer-review panel has given a green light to the cutting-edge structure for Seattle’s Rainier Square Tower, an 850-ft-tall “proof of concept” for a new core system, which will have a ...

Lamifil’s ACCC ICE+ range are lightweight and strong composite core conductors, combining good efficiency and excellent sag behavior under heavy mechanical loads. They are developed with the most ...

The payload fairing on a launch vehicle protects the payload during ascent, maintaining it in a controlled environment. Although a simple monocoque laminate could otherwise provide sufficient ...

Purdue engineers are taking building possibilities to new heights with the university’s role in the research and development of an innovative high-rise construction process. Rainier Square, a 58-story ...
