Description
Research for space applications has resulted in a considerable amount of valuable spinoff information to practicing structural engineers outside the space related fields. The spinoff has not been limited to any one field, but cuts across the lines of many industries serving the public, For example, specific applications can be traced to the agricultural industry, commercial power generation, school and building construction, and hydrospace applications.
Examples are given where funds from NASA and other space oriented organizations have been combined with funds from private organizations such as the American Iron aid Steel Institute, the American Institute of Steel Construction and from private corporations to produce results that are applicable to both space efforts and commercially oriented efforts.
