  • Episode 95 - Understanding D.G. #1
    Aug 26 2025

    This episode Zach and I test our knowledge of an AISC design document, Design Guide #1 - Base Plate Connections. This is the first DG we read as we entered the working world, and we think its worthwhile to revisit this occasionally and make sure we're still keeping up.

    Want to look at all the guides available? https://www.aisc.org/publications/design-guides/

  • Episode 94 - Famous Failures
    Aug 13 2025

    This week we are looking at famous structural engineering failures. From the Hyatt Regency Collapse to Ronan Point there are a number of instances that have helped us develop our career and provide safer and more appealing (beautiful/Unique/Purposeful) structures to the world. Creating the built environment takes some mistakes, but only when we dont learn from them would you see them as a complete loss.

  • Episode 92 - Meetings With The Architect
    Jul 8 2025

    This episode we are talking with Melissa Lanning, an architect with Infusion Architects based out of Colorado. Melissa is the first architect we've asked to be on the show, it took 5 years of practice but we're ready to talk with the most common client for structural engineers, and learn how we can navigate the structural/architectural work dynamic better to get the best final project.

    You can find Infusion Architects: Here

    Also, we are starting a structural trivia, Just one email a week, 6 questions total. Generally referencing code books, aiming for things we should have memorized anyway. A great way to stay sharp, don't just be the best in your office, prove it. Here or below
