The study of energy absorption mechanisms in structural engineering is critical for designing systems that effectively mitigate impact forces and prevent catastrophic failure. By integrating ...

The Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics (SESM) research area teaches and perform research on mechanics of solids, mechanics of structures, and structural engineering. Our research spans ...

Through an NSF grant, SLU in partnership with Rose Hulman Institute of Technology, has created learning modules for experiential learning in structural engineering. There are twelve modules broken ...

Civil/Structural engineers design and maintain buildings, bridges, and other structures constructed from various materials (concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and reinforced plastics). They use modern ...

Our world-class research program in earthquake and structural engineering focuses on understanding how key infrastructure stands up to extreme forces such as an earthquake. We simulate earthquake ...

Structural engineering is a dynamic discipline that forms the backbone of modern infrastructure design, integrating principles of mechanics, materials science and computational analysis to ensure the ...
