Inclement weather, undermined structural support and poor foundations, material deficiency, incompetent maintenance, and heavy impacts—these are just some of the factors why buildings and bridges collapse. The list goes in, although it might be hard to diagnose and isolate if it’s the resistance or the load that make a structure break down. Hence, when structural engineers gather on the meeting table to plan and design structures, they bury their elbows deep to ensure that their projects will not fail! Because if a structure collapses, lives could be at stake. Death and serious injuries could happen. What Makes a Structure Resilient While all structures are made of these common construction materials to make them stand, structural engineers’ priority is to make them both tough and flexible. We might all think that buildings and bridges look like they are made entirely of steel and concrete, but they are definitely not just that. In construction, it is what we call the bend ...

The Rubber Technology Today With more and more industries operating in higher temperature environments and sites with extensive exposure to nuclear radiation, the demand for a more sophisticated rubber technology continues to rise every day. Mining, nuclear and oil, and competitive construction industries, among the many, seek for rubber products that have been developed to withstand high degrees of mechanical and thermal abuse. Today, most of the rubber products we have on the market are the upgraded and fortified versions of the rubber we had before. Chemical engineers have always been on the move. Rubber technologists have always tried to work out a way to create newer rubber compositions. All these upgrades are just an answer to most of what’s on demand. Good news, most of the small- and medium-sized silicone rubber fabrication companies across the globe have adopted these new technology of rubber manufacturing. Hence, we have more access to premium rubber produc...
