The Structural Engineering Podcast

Learn about sustainability and embodied carbon in structural engineering. Join the SC 2050 movement. Understand the importance of sustainable design and interdisciplinary collaboration. Explore the use of CLT panels and the role of structural engineers in design. Design for reuse, thermal bridging, and deconstruction. Different types of mass timber and their impact on embodied carbon. Advocating for timber buildings and early involvement of engineers.

Trevor Haskett from motioneering discusses different types of dampers in structural engineering, including the use of fluid dampers and Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs). The podcast explores the practical terms of dampers, weight and volume requirements, retrofit projects, and the potential architectural aspects of dampers. They also discuss the financial aspects of observatories, the effects of typhoons on TMDs, and using TMDs to address shaky floors.

This week we talk with David Wu, a new engineer recently completing his undergrad, and now finishing up a great internship before grad school. We talk with David about what new engineers can expect from the working world, and we ask about how his education prepared him for his first structural internship and why he chose a masters. If your either getting started in the working world yourself, or bringing on your first junior engineer, this will be a great episode for you.If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email, and otherwise it's great to be back. InstagramLinkedInEmail: info@theengineeringpodcast.com

This week we talk with Robert Malczyk, an experienced engineer on the forefront of mass timber design and the founding principle of Timber Engineering Based in Vancouver BC. We talk about what type of Architect/Engineer relationships we may want to aim for as our careers move forward, and the ones that have stood out to Robert throughout his career. If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email, and otherwise it's great to be back. Mola Structural Kit (On sale till Nov 7th!)InstagramLinkedInFaceBookYouTubeEmail: info@theengineeringpodcast.com

This week we are talking with Aaron and Wes, the Founders of a new platform for remote and flexible freelance structural work. That's probably not a combination of words you often come across. Shingle is looking to shake up how work is done in the engineering community, and I have a good feeling that they will. We hope you enjoy the episode, and check out their website below.www.Shingleit.comWebsiteInstagramLinkedInFaceBookYouTubeEmail: info@theengineeringpodcast.com 

This week we are talking with Jon Schmidt a structural engineer with Burns and McDonnell about blast design and the loads of which are applied to structures. We enjoyed speaking with Jon and hope to discuss different topics in the future.
