Any fire in a skyscraper is an emergency. But if that fire causes structural collapse, it puts the lives of everyone in and around the building at risk, turning a serious incident into a disaster. That's why it's important to have fire codes for building design. Those codes are shaped by experiments like this one, in which portions of a building are burned in a lab. In this test, NIST scientists constructed two floors of a building inside their fire research laboratory, and they used hydraulics

NIST’s National Construction Safety Team has released a video update on its investigation into the June 2021 partial collapse of the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside, Florida. The team is evaluating two dozen hypotheses, relying on extensive physical evidence, imagery, historical records, witness interviews, remote sensing data, laboratory testing, computer modeling and more. Watch the video to hear directly from NIST experts. | National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

NIST has released videos and data from fire tests on cold-formed steel-framed shear walls, lightweight building materials used extensively in low-rise to mid-rise commercial construction. The shear walls help transfer horizontal forces, such as those that arise from wind or earthquakes, down to the foundation. The NIST tests included a simulated kitchen fire followed by earthquake-like mechanical loads to test the walls’ structural integrity. These studies can help engineers and fire professiona

Earthquakes can have devastating effects that threaten public safety and social and economic well-being. Even if the building does not collapse, an earthquake might render apartments, hospitals, schools, and other buildings uninhabitable or unusable, causing an economic disaster that continues to distress a community long after the earthquake. That's why researchers at NIST are studying "functional recovery"--the idea that structures should be designed to not only keep people alive during earthq

This video shows a test of a new way to connect precast concrete beams to a central column. The connection was designed with intentional weak spots designed to stretch and break first. It’s a little like the way an electrical fuse breaks to protect the rest of the circuit. This design helps prevent what engineers call “disproportionate collapse,” which is when localized damage to a building spreads like dominos, causing a much larger disaster than the initial incident. New connections like these
