Natural born engineers and architects, ants excavate large and complex nests in which they shelter, reproduce, and generally go about their lives. We're excited to check out this newly released book by Walter R. Tschinkel.

An unprecedented look at the complex and beautiful world of underground ant architecture

"Like everyone, structural engineers mourn the human, physical, and societal losses of 9/11, and we dread the possibility of catastrophic structural failures in the future. But engineers and other partners to the construction industry are not complacent when there are failures. We study, we learn, and we improve."

Members of the profession study such tragic events to try and ensure that something similar won’t happen again

This is bananas. See what happens when you a leave pool to its own devices for eight years. Hint: It creates an ecosystem. Watch the process of making it new, again.

After 8 years of neglect, this old pool gets a much needed facelift.

"Flawed from day one," states a new report on the tragic Surfside condominium collapse. The original plans specified structural columns that were too narrow to accommodate enough rebar, meaning that contractors had to choose between cramming extra steel into a too-small column or inadequately attaching floor slabs to their supports. Thankfully building codes have come a long way in recent decades, requiring stronger steel reinforcement and concrete less susceptible to salt-water intrusion.

“Flawed from day one,” reads the Miami Herald report.

The technology hasn’t changed much in the structural design of swimming pools. But as things have stayed largely the same for decades, unfortunately so have common issues. But that’s about to change. The structural engineers at HH consulting have created a revolutionary engineering design that solves for cracks, corrosion, and weak spots. We can’t wait to share it with you in the coming weeks.

A little bit about cantilevers and those buildings that seem to defy gravity.

Towers with sections that extend into the open air seem to defy gravity. Here are a few ways architects and engineers make it happen.

Complete! Just in time for the holiday weekend. 🎉 We’re pumped about this infinity pool we recently worked on in McDonald Highlands. It’s got 100ft of negative edge and is making us want to take a dip. 🏊🏼‍♂️ 🎈🇺🇸🍔

Engineers to the rescue. Over a year ago, the Golden Gate bridge was modified with wind barriers for pedestrians. However, it was never acoustically tested and the bridge now sings a mighty song during wind storms.

In a retrofit-gone-wrong, the iconic bridge was turned into the world's biggest music instrument. Now, engineers are trying to fix it back.
