How do you make a 4,000-ton building move? Thornton Tomasetti Principal Tom Duffy is featured in an ASME video exploring the engineering collaboration behind The Shed in New York City.
Our Washington, D.C., office has partnered with small, woman-owned structural firm A+F Engineers on more than 12 projects over 17 years. Representatives of both recently sat down to discuss their experience together.
The fast-developing energy transition, with a target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, will include a significant expansion in the use of hydrogen. The roles for hydrogen being considered include energy transportation and storage, land transport, maritime propulsion, domestic heating and ‘hard to de-carbonise’ industry. In gaseous form, due to its low density, hydrogen tends to be stored at high pressure, often measured in 100s of bar, though the pressure range will depend on the application.
As people start settling into our new headquarters, they can do so with confidence, knowing that the space carries the International WELL Building Institute’s WELL Health-Safety Rating.
Recent legislative changes in the U.K. are encouraging the adaptive reuse of buildings as a way to lower the embodied carbon in construction and help meet net zero goals.
Hail storms pose substantial risks to property and an array of challenges to various stakeholders, including insurance companies, roof manufacturers, and owners and design teams making decisions on the serviceability of exterior materials. This paper introduces an analytical model that can simulate hail impact (see also simulation videos).
