"LVL is no longer just an alternative, it's becoming a standard in engineered wood solutions"RedBuilt's laminated veneer lumber beams, headers, and columns offer engineered strength, dimensional ...

This graphic illustrates a new design for the framework of columns and beams that support bridges, called "bents," to improve performance for better resistance to earthquakes, less damage and faster ...

The best things to use to attach the joist hangers to the beam are structural screws or bolts. Never use roofing nails. (Tim Carter/TNS) Perspective by Tim Carter Q: Tim, I’ve never worked with metal ...

Q. I'm getting ready to build a large room addition that needs a beam to support the floor joists. I've been told that a wood beam will work, but I've always seen steel I-beams in other houses. Is it ...

The seismic performance of beam-column joints in reinforced concrete structures is paramount for ensuring the overall resilience of built environments in regions exposed to earthquakes. These joints ...
