Key Takeaways from the 2019 NCSEA Summit – Ep 014
The NCSEA Summit is a structural engineering conference where professionals come together to share their experience and knowledge. It has sessions for engineers with different experience levels and from different industries; regardless of the industry that you’re in, you’ll get a really good overview it.
Twelve Firsts in Structural Engineering on the Halls River Bridge – Ep 013
A combination of beams was used in the construction of the bridge, including HCB beams, CFRP and GFRP strands and stirrups, and FRP bars and strands. That is what makes this project unique: every element has some form of FRP composite.
Structural Engineering Career Fair Tips for Students – Ep 012
These tips will help you to prepare for that structural engineering career fair you are planning to visit and ensure that you make the most out of every moment, which in turn might just launch your engineering career.
The Structural Engineering Engagement and Equity (SE3) Project – Ep 011
SE3 is about trying to attract and retain the best talent in the structural engineering industry, and make sure that every single engineer has equal access to success.
The Design of Amusement Industry Roller Coaster Projects – Ep 010
Maser Consulting don’t over design and is very practical in what they are doing. We come up with what we think is the best, most efficient and safest solution for the public.
The New ASCE Prestandard for Performance-Based Wind Design with Don Scott – Ep 009
Prestandards are not only to be used in tall buildings. It can be very beneficial for lower-rise buildings as well. One of the big benefits we see in it is how it is improving the envelope design for structures throughout the country.
CROSS (Confidential Reporting on Structural Safety) Is Now Here in the United States – Ep 008
CROSS has shown us a way through confidentiality and anonymity and having a sustained organization and effort to be able to do things more systematically and to encourage people to share lessons and failures in a way that they haven’t been able to do before.
Drones and Structural Engineering Inspections – A Marriage in the Making – Ep 007
It is definitely safer as well as more cost-effective to use UAVs for your structural engineering inspections. The decision to use drones for inspection purposes is definitely a case-by-case basis as every structural engineering project as well as bridges are different.
The Emotional Side of Structural Engineering – Ep 006
In episode 06 of The Structural Engineering Podcast, we talk to Zohaib Alvi, P.E about sustainability in Structural Engineering and more specifically about the emotional side of structural engineering and how important it is to embrace it as an engineer.
Community Resilience in Structural Engineering with Dr. Therese McAllister of NIST – Ep 005
Community resilience doesn’t look at individual buildings or systems. It looks at them as an integrated system and that is why they should all function together.
