About the Competition Every year, SpaceX holds their annual Hyperloop Pod Competition at their headquarters in Hawthorne, CA. The Hyperloop is a form of rapid transportation conceptualized by Elon Musk in 2013 and has been continually re-conceptualized by startups and student teams across the globe. The ultimate goal for the… read more →
SkyCiv and its modules are a powerful set of tools from which users can model, analyze, and design. Due to its intuitive and powerful 3D modeling and analytical capabilities, SkyCiv 3D allows for multitudes of variability for structural engineering projects. In the case of Mitch Frumkin, President of Kipcon Engineering,… read more →
Introducing: Section Design Software for Reinforced Concrete SkyCiv General Section Designer (GSD) is a new concrete design software that allows users to calculate the section capacity of any shape, reinforcement pattern or combination of loads. This powerful, yet intuitive software is built on the SkyCiv Section Builder. For a limited time, this software is available for… read more →
A shear connection is a joint that allows the transfer of shear forces between two members. It is a connection with pure normal force load (tension joint), pure shear loading, or combination of normal and shear force. Shear connections are generally the most commonly used connections. They are typically used… read more →
What materials are most commonly used in structural engineering? Structural engineering depends on the knowledge of materials and their corresponding properties for us to better predict the behavior of different materials when applied to the structure. Generally, the three (3) most commonly used construction materials are steel, concrete and wood/timber.… read more →
What is a moment connection? Any connection that has the capacity to transfer moment between the structural members (two or more) is defined as moment connection. This term is commonly used in steel structures as opposed to shear connections that are able to transfer only shear force between the bridging… read more →
