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.

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.

Work in progress, we're better at Engineering than coding, but keep checking back! it gets better every day

This episode zach and I have a great time discussing the seismic systems we've used, and have dreamed of using and the new systems and research coming out currently. This is a pretty fun roverview of the seismic systems available to us, so take a listen and check out all the links below.
