The Structural Engineering Podcast

This week we sit down with Peter Vanderzee, President and CEO of lifespan technologies. Peter is an expert in the structural monitoring field with appearances on CBS, Fox, and has been an adviser to the FHA Long Term Bridge Performance Program. Since our Co-host Max loves structural monitoring this is his Michael Jordan. We hope you enjoy our great discussion with Peter who shares great tips for those starting out in their career, and valuable comments on the state of the industry.

What do Ridgecrest, CA and Japan have in common? They both make up half of this episode. We talk with Maria Mohammed, a structural engineer in California about her experience surveying the damage from the July 4th Ridgeway earthquake. After that we discuss a bit about Japanese seismic code, and why it might just be better than ours.

The podcast discusses the importance of structural diaphragms in transmitting lateral loads. It covers the elements of a diaphragm, different types of diaphragms and materials used, design and use of diaphragms in structural engineering, ICC's role in standardized testing, aspect ratios in wood and steel structures, and seismic provisions and diaphragm design.

In this weeks podcast, we discuss structural dampers for buildings and bridge vibrations induced by seismic, wind, and humans. https://www.taylordevices.com/ For additional note please follow the link below to our website.
