Structural Integrity is a scientific book series covering the research field and technical view of the structural integrity and failure area. The series was established in 2017 and is published by Springer Science+Business Media. The editors-in-chief are José A.F.O. Correia and Abílio De Jesus (University of Porto).
Collapsed barn at Hörsne, Gotland, Sweden Building collapse due to snow weight. Structural integrity and failure is an aspect of engineering that deals with the ability of a structure to support a designed structural load (weight, force, etc.) without breaking and includes the study of past structural failures in order to prevent failures in future designs.
The Eco-Link@BKE is an ecological bridge in Singapore which connects the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve with the Central Catchment Nature Reserve. [1] The Eco-Link is 75 metres (246 ft) long and crosses over the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE). [1] [2] The bridge is shaped like an hourglass and at its narrowest point is 50 metres (160 ft) wide.

Wildlife crossing is the umbrella term encompassing underpasses, overpasses, ecoducts, green bridges, amphibian/small mammal tunnels, and wildlife viaducts (Bank et al. 2002). All of these structures are designed to provide semi-natural corridors above and below roads so that animals can safely cross without endangering themselves and motorists ...
A so-called "cathedral" mound produced by a termite colony. Structures built by non-human animals, often called animal architecture, [1] are common in many species. Examples of animal structures include termite mounds, ant hills, wasp and beehives, burrow complexes, beaver dams, elaborate nests of birds, and webs of spiders.
Sapontzis was born in New York City, the son of Zissis Peter and Lea Marie Vial Sapontzis on February 9, 1945. [2] He obtained his BA from Rice University in 1967, his MPhil in 1970, and PhD from Yale University in 1971; [3] his thesis was entitled Merleau-Ponty and Philosophical Methodology.
Biological integrity is associated with how "pristine" an environment is and its function relative to the potential or original state of an ecosystem before human alterations were imposed. Biological integrity is built on the assumption that a decline in the values of an ecosystem's functions are primarily caused by human activity or alterations.
The International Journal of Structural Integrity is a bi-monthly peer-reviewed academic journal covering research on damage tolerance design, structural integrity and failure. It was established in 2010 and is published by Emerald Publishing .
