Effective shop drawing review focuses on design intent using a methodical process.

Thermal restraint of structures for the design of fire protection has been a point of contention for many years, especially in the world of steel-framed buildings. It is time to shed some light on this topic.

To view the figures and tables associated with this article, please refer to the flipbook above. Much of the concrete industry’s sustainability discussions have focused on mixture optimization, reducing portland cement content and increasing the use of supplementary cementitious materials […]

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 […]

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.
