Structural Steel Bolted Connections – Quality Control and Assurance Structural steel bolted connections are fundamental to the strength, stability, and serviceability of steel-framed structures, and their performance is highly dependent on proper bolt installation and verified tightness. In modern construction, high-strength bolts used in bearing, pretensioned, and slip-critical joints must be installed and inspected in accordance with the Research Council on Structural Connections (RCSC) Specification and the applicable provisions of AISC 360 and the International Building ...Read More.
Safer Railroads Through Ultrasound Advances in ultrasound — the same imaging technology that uses sound waves to allow doctors to monitor babies in utero — are being applied by engineers at the University of California San Diego to make railroad track inspection more effective. Ensuring the safety of the vast 140,000-mile network of existing rail infrastructure in the United States is critical, especially as that figure grows with the addition of new high-speed passenger rail lines. Image: The researchers' ultrasound probe is small enough ...Read More.
