The Italian bridge collapse
Aug 16, 2018
Another bridge has collapsed and it could have been avoided. Well, that is what at least one engineer thinks. This one came down near Genoa in Italy, just this week. Euronews reports that an engineering professor, back in 2016, had urged the authorities to ‘completely rebuild’ the Morandi Bridge because of deterioration.On the 14th of August 2018, the bridge came[…] -
Digital fabrication producing smart constructions
Aug 13, 2018
The casting of concrete is becoming smarter and smarter by the day.The digitization of concrete casting has revolutionized the way both architects and engineers do their jobs. It is now possible to 3D print concrete in novel geometric patterns that defy belief and produce artistic results. However, it’s not only for aesthetically pleasing results — the concrete slabs are more[…] -
Plastic roads: paving the way to a plastic-free future?
Aug 13, 2018
The war against plastic is gathering force.Environmentalists have made it clear: the continuing use of plastics bodes badly for Planet Earth. It is gratifying to learn that the initiatives to eliminate or reduce the use of plastics are gathering speed and popularity. For example, Starbucks aim to remove plastic straws from their global stores by 2020. Some restaurants have taken[…] -
Origami inspired mechanical engineering
Aug 13, 2018
Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figure.Its use of geometrical shapes makes it a curious art form — one that could inspire mechanical engineering design.According to Northeastern University researcher Soroush Kamrava, the future solar panels and air bags will be informed by origami designs. The research includes utilizing metamaterials (plastics, metals and rubber) to[…]
