At the core of uncovering extreme events such as floods is the physics of fluids – specifically turbulent flows. Researchers leveraged a computer-vision deep learning technique and adapted it for ...

Extreme Engineering covers major construction projects from all around the world. Some are futuristic projects that may never be done, others are projects that are on there way to completion.

Since 1987, MCEER, formerly the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) and the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research ( NCEER), has produced over 600 ...

What takes eight years and $8 billion? Building a new LaGuardia Airport, which now stands exactly where the old LaGuardia stood. What “Extreme Airport Engineering” examines is a kind of magic act, a ...

It examines the concept of constructing a giant tower in Japan that wouldn't be a just a building, but a public city in the sky. At the end it talks about what a fire in the building would be like and ...

Buildings and urban infrastructure are designed to withstand earthquakes and other natural disasters, based on data from previous events. But how do you design a building to get through the extreme ...
