This week we talk with Jason Hoover, he's the senior director for structural solution with MITEK. After listening to the episode let us know if you would ever switch over to engineering sales or if you currently are in engineering sales let us know how you like it.If you plan to be in Denver for this year’s Steel Conference on March 23rd through the 25th swing by booth 2203 and meet Jason in person.WebsiteInstagramLinkedInFaceBookYouTubeEmail: info@theengineeringpodcast.com

Zach and Max sit down with Jake Althouse, an FRP enthusiast, certainly an expert by my standards, and head of advanced materials at Frost Engineeeing. Jake gave us the run-down on all things FRP. If you've ever wondered when, how, and why to use FRP, this episode will pull(trude) you to your first succesful FRP project.WebsiteInstagramLinkedInFaceBookYouTubeEmail: info@theengineeringpodcast.com

This week we talk with Chris Whittle a project engineer at a construction company. It's taken some time but we got a contractor to join us on the show. Let us know what your thoughts are on the episode and any questions you might have! WebsiteInstagramLinkedInFaceBookYouTubeEmail: info@theengineeringpodcast.com

In this episode Max gets stuck in the office wrapping up a concrete submittal before the holidays. Luckily Tyler Ley swings by to help save the day and teach us about the miracle of concrete.

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.

In this podcast, the hosts discuss the importance of properly constructing slabs in structural engineering, including managing client expectations and addressing concrete cracks. They debate the thickness and characteristics of slab-on-grade for office slabs, and the strength and capacity of concrete in compression and tension. The misconception of placing plastic under concrete is debunked, and the use of microfiber and macrofiber in slabs is explored. They also discuss shrinkage-reducing admixtures and their effectiveness in preventing shrinkage in concrete slabs.

In this episode we talk with Sam Ruben, the Co-founder of Mighty Buildings, a company attempting to change the way we build residential and even commercial structures through 3D printing. At the SEP we believe the future of structures should, and will, look a lot different then our current practice. (Do you know how long we've been building houses with wood!?) If I were to place a bet, I think 3D printing will be a big portion of that, and these guys have a very cool system to help us get there. mightybuildings.comWebsiteInstagramLinkedInFaceBookYouTubeEmail: info@theengineeringpodcast.com

This week we talk with Megan Stringer and Erik Kneer of Holmes Structures. Both Megan and Erik are committed advocates for more sustainable practices in structural design. I admittedly didn't know how much SE's could do to reduce the total carbon emissions of a building project, but I was happy to find not only do we have a role in this space, but it's truly crucial to a sustainable, low carbon future.Links:Achieving net zero embodied carbon (pdf)EPD'sSE2050.orgBuildingtransparency.org WebsiteInstagramLinkedInFaceBookYouTubeEmail: info@theengineeringpodcast.com

This week we talk with Ilana Danzig an associate with Aspect Structural Engineers. She brings a large knowledge of complex structures with a passion in timber. We hope you enjoy!Click here to see the connection.  WebsiteInstagramLinkedInFaceBookYouTubeEmail: info@theengineeringpodcast.com
