The field of engineering evolves daily. The marvels of engineering far outweigh the failures/disasters. These failures and/or disasters result when engineers and designers push boundaries by building ...

Engineering failures supply a substantial amount to discuss, but also of interest are those quirky details of why something was designed a certain way. <BR><BR>An ...

FARGO — Flood disasters are almost invariably a combination of a natural "act of God" and an engineering failure. On May 31, 1889, an 11-inch rain following an already wet spring led to the ...

A global shift in engineering accountability is forcing asset owners to rethink how design validation protects people, ...

When Hurricane Ian moved across Florida in 2022, several aluminum light poles on a Central Florida bridge collapsed or ...

Every engineer is going to have a bad day, but only an unlucky few will have a day so bad that it registers on a seismometer. We’ve always had a morbid fascination with engineering mega-failures, few ...

Many engineering organizations of today create internal “team academies” to teach the behavioral architecture of high-performance work. These academies accelerate technical performance by ...

An overview of fatigue failure and how it affects mechanical systems. How FEA software enables engineers to predict fatigue failure points on structural designs, before the manufacturing process. From ...
