Episode 87 - How strong is your understanding of UHPC?

Episode 87 - How strong is your understanding of UHPC?

This weeks episode is about one of the most unique materials we have had in a while. Now you may say this is concrete, which we've been pretty good at since 1300 BC, and while that isnt incorrect, we say its so much more than stone, clay, and limestone from 3300 years ago, this is Ultra High Performance! So sit back and let us ask the dumb questions while we learn about UHPC, the many advantrages, and where we might see it in the future.

Episode 86 - Succesfully Engineering A Career

Episode 86 - Succesfully Engineering A Career

We are lucky enough to have one more episode with Scott Johnson this week. Scott was our primary host at Louisiana Pacific and works in the construction services sector. We had a short conversation with Scott about his career path and quickly decided we wanted to hear more. From the Marines to teaching Masonry design and finally wood elements, It seems Scott has seen it all, so join in, and I have a feeling you'll take some good lessons away from this conversation.

Episode 85 - Long Spans And Short Timelines

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Structural Engineering Podcast! Today, we have the pleasure of chatting with Scott Collins, an innovative engineer whose remarkable work caught our attention in a recent article in Modern Steel. Join us as we delve into the diverse projects Scott is involved in, and don't hesitate to share any questions you have for him.


Also, The structural Python Course is getting so close to launch. If you're interested in joining in, or learning more, the course will only be available to those on the email list, so head to https://www.structuralpython.com/ to check it out. And, Connor put together a great video highlighting some of the advantages of being able to create your own calculation software so take a look at that HERE to spark some problem solving creativity.

Episode 82 - Financial Engineering

Episode 82 - Financial Engineering

This week is unique for us, as it's not a direct structural engineering resource but it's a topic that I am certain you need to understand while you plan out your career. Zach and I are talking with Ryan Sullivan, an engineer who left his design job to go after a passion in financial planning. This is a great story for all the engineers with a pocket full of "numbers" questions, and we finally have the right person to ask. So join in while we learn how we should think about this critical, and engineering adjacent, decision framework for your work life. 


Ryan Website can be found here: https://www.obpfinancial.com/


And I also wanted to link in Connor's (Episode 77) new Python course, I'll certainly be joining in since I see this as a beneficial future set of skills for our profession, Check it out here:

Bio of The Structural Engineering Podcast

The Structural Engineering Podcast is hosted by Max and Zach.
Structural Engineering is a platform where they discuss structural engineering topics and share their experiences with new engineers. Max, who has had a diverse background in the architecture and construction industry, and Zach, a structural engineer, bring a unique perspective to the podcast.

Max reflects on the lack of significant changes in residential construction over the years, despite advancements in technology and building systems. He questions whether buildings should evolve and adapt to our changing needs or if the existing methods and designs still suffice. While the industry witnesses advancements and innovations, Max ponders why these ideas are not more prevalent in everyday practice.

He acknowledges the resistance to change within the construction industry, citing factors such as the design-bid-build framework and the fragmentation of responsibilities among subcontractors and designers. However, Max believes that there is room for improvement and that the industry can build better, more resilient, and energy-efficient structures.
