What is the most important thing to specify besides concrete compressive strength?

Our professional pledge extends far beyond the boundaries of our individual engineering projects. We have a collective duty to study structural failures and safety concerns of all types, share those insights, and advocate for systemic changes aimed at preventing public safety disasters.

The TNA® Torque + Angle Fastening System is the only fastening system that delivers both a quantifiable Snug Tight condition – ensuring every bolt in a connection meets a minimum requirement for tension – and the precise required angle for […]

Mass timber has become one of the most important developments in modern structural engineering. Cross-laminated timber, glulam, mass plywood panels and hybrid timber systems help project teams deliver buildings that are lighter, faster to erect and more carbon-conscious than many […]

The HSS Connections Hub offers complimentary access to typical HSS connection details as well as corresponding calculators that perform utilization checks in real-time to help complete designs. Users can download in three formats, including PDF, AutoCAD and Revit. The HSS […]

This final article of a three-part series explores the financial aspects of running your own structural engineering firm, from taxes to billing.

The SEAOC SE Pathways Initiative is a multi-stage program that fosters career growth in the profession, from college enrollment through retirement.

This article is the third of a three-part Joint Summer Series, “Disaster Response and Lessons Learned,” produced by NCSEA, SEI, and CASE.

This Guastavino ceiling serves as an example of how a combination of iterative site documentation and nuanced structural analysis, using historic methods with modern computational tools, can allow for a repair strategy that minimizes impact and maximizes preservation of original structure.

Key parameters influence roofing system selection between standing-seam metal and insulated sandwich panel in modern stadiums.

Adaptive reuse works as an affordable housing mechanism, but developers and the design team must confront and quantify the practical constraints in every project.
