When designing a building for lateral loads such as those generated by wind or earthquakes, engineers have several options. Lateral loads may be transferred to the foundation via braced frames or ...

Shear walls are walls specifically designed to resist lateral loads, transferring the load from the wall above to the wall below and, ultimately, out through the foundation. This is a critical role in ...

Recent advances in both numerical modelling and experimental methods have deepened our understanding of soil–structure interaction, lateral load response and fatigue behaviour under cyclic loading.

CHESTERFIELD, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MiTek today announced the release of its new Adjustable Deck Tension Tie (ADTT-TZ), which effectively resists the lateral (horizontal) loads that pull a deck ...
