A chilled beam is an air distribution device with an integral coil that may be installed within a space in order to provide sensible cooling and heating. There are two main types of chilled beams: ...

Composite beams have become an integral element in modern structural engineering, combining dissimilar materials to exploit their complementary mechanical properties. This field of study encompasses ...

Meet Amanda and Stacy Beam. She’s a designer. He’s an artist. She embraces the big picture. He feasts on details. Together they are the dynamic owners of Beam Design Group, an innovative company ...

A recent series of dynamic tests demonstrates that there are several types and doses of steel-fiber reinforcement that can be used in performance-based seismic design of coupling beams—headers that ...

The Contact stress and area problems set up like this. Picking calculation produces the outputs shown. Beam-section properties pop up with either of the beam modules, or can be accessed on its own.

Scan the skyline of New York City and it’s almost everywhere you look. Same thing with Chicago and Philadelphia and just about any big city where the buildings poke into the sky. Everyone knows ...
