TSEC 18: Blast Protection and Active Shooter Mitigation in Structural Engineering

In this episode of The Structural Engineering Channel Podcast, we talk to Sharon Gallant PE, SE, managing principal at KPFF Consulting Engineers. Sharon talks about blast protection and shares some interesting insights about active shooter and hostile vehicle mitigation related to structural engineering design.

Engineering Quotes:

Blast Protection

Here Are Some of the Questions We Ask Sharon in This Episode:

  • Could you give our listeners an idea about your career journey to date and what you focus on today as a structural engineer?
  • Can you tell us about your involvement in the ASCE SEI Structures Congress?
  • Can you tell us about the history of blast engineering?
  • How have you seen the threat of terrorism most impact the job of structural engineers?

TSEC 09: The New ASCE Prestandard for Performance-Based Wind Design with Don Scott

In this episode of The Structural Engineering Channel podcast, we talk to Don Scott, PE, SE, F.SEI, F.ASCE, who is the Senior Principal at PCS Structural Solutions. Don will be breaking down ASCE’s new Prestandard for Performance-Based Wind Design. He also provides some great examples of when you should use this prestandard and explains the importance of why you should use it. 

Engineering Quotes:

Performance-Based Wind Design

Here Are Some of the Questions We Ask Don in This Episode:

  • SEI received a research grant from the Charles Pankow Foundation for $150,000 with co-funding from the ACI, AISC, ASCE Industry Leaders Council and the MKA Foundation. Can you tell us a little bit about the Charles Pankow Foundation?
  • What is the purpose of the ASCE/SEI Pre-standard for performance-based wind design?
  • What should structural engineers know about these prestandrad?
  • How does performance-based design differentiate from traditional prescriptive procedures?
  • Do you see this trend with performance-based design expanding across structural engineering and possibly into other industries of civil engineering?

Here Are Some of the Key Points Discussed About the New ASCE Prestandard for Performance-Based Wind Design:

The Engineering Management Institute to Launch The Structural Engineering Podcast

May 29, 2019 By EMI

The Structural Engineering Podcast

Structural engineering, like most engineering industries, is constantly evolving with technical guidelines, new techniques, and updated standards.  There are also new and exciting structural engineering projects being completed every day worldwide.

This niche industry deserves its own podcast to cover these issues, and therefore the Engineering Management Institute (EMI) is excited to be launching The Structural Engineering Podcast (TSEP).  TSEP will cover items including but not limited to performance-based design, fasteners and connections, post-tensioned structures, smart structures, tsunami modeling, software solutions, seismic design, blast resistant design, wood, business issues, professional development for structural engineers, how to specify things effectively, and many more topics.

The podcast will be sponsored by Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI) and we are grateful for their support.  (CSI) Computers and Structures, Inc. is recognized globally as the pioneering leader in software tools for structural and earthquake engineering. Software from CSI is used by thousands of engineering firms in over 160 countries for the design of major projects.
