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 ...

In the previous discussions of solution of beam-column, the basic differential equation of beam-column and its boundary conditions are generally expressed in terms of the lateral deflection w as can ...

A new method of connecting precast beams and columns will make it possible to quickly repair concrete buildings damaged by extreme events such as earthquakes and hurricanes. The patented technology, ...

The design of structural bridge elements like columns, beam-column joints, and cap beams has changed tremendously over the past 30 years. Many experimental tests have been done in order to determine ...

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 ...
