Episode 124 - Your Concrete Numbers Are Wrong. Does It Matter? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we take a closer look at the concrete mixture requirements structural engineers encounter in ACI 318. We explore where the familiar values for water-to-cementitious-material ratio, air content, aggregate size, cement type, and durability requirements come from—and what they mean for the concrete we specify on our projects. We discuss how ACI durability exposure classes influence mixture requirements, including maximum water-to-cementitious-material ratios, minimum specified stre
Episode 123 - What's Next for Structural Steel? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we explore what's next for the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the future of structural steel. We discuss how AISC's role extends beyond the Steel Manual, how research makes its way into the codes and standards engineers use every day, and the trends shaping the steel industry over the next decade. We also dive into AISC's 2033 Initiative and what it could mean for engineers, fabricators, and the broader steel industry. Finally, we look at the next generation
Episode 122 - The Role of Structural Engineers in Resilience (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Episode 122, we explore a question that goes beyond how we design buildings: how do we make our communities more resilient before disaster strikes? We discuss the growing challenges of natural disasters, infrastructure risk, insurance, and the economic consequences of rebuilding after the fact — and why simply designing for the minimum code requirements may not be enough. We also dive into what it means to "future proof" America, and how engineers can play a role in connecting technical solut
Episode 121 - Are Structural Engineers Too Dependent on Codes? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we explore the future of structural engineering and what it will take to continue pushing the profession forward. We discuss why innovation can be difficult in a risk-averse industry, how performance-based design is changing the way engineers approach complex structures, and whether our reliance on codes and software is beginning to replace first-principles thinking. We also dive into the growing role of AI in structural engineering—where it could accelerate design and innovatio
Episode 120 – How Glass & Grid Shells Make the Impossible Possible (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we sit down with Joshua Schultz, Ph.D., P.E., to explore the engineering behind grid shells and structural glass. We discuss how grid shells achieve remarkable long spans through efficient geometry, the role of form-finding and computational design, and the challenges of analysis, connections, and construction. We also dive into structural glass, covering its behavior as a structural material, connection design, redundancy, code development, and the projects pushing the boundari
