The Structural Engineering Podcast

This week we get to continue our education in to UHPC with a discussion with Joe Bunkers from Gage Brothers. Gage Brothers is a group of precast experts helping move the needle on UHPC production and use, take a peak at the links below for a very cool project that comes up in our conversation, and reach out to if you have any questions at all.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This Episode we continue our series of conversations at Luisiana Pacific and this time we get to learn all about fire design. We are talking with Scott Johnson who made the transition from consulting structural engineer to a whole host of tasks and skills at LP. We get to hear all about fire deaign, where exactly the responsibilty falls, and how structural engineers can make better more efficient buildings with even a little understanding in this area. As akways, reach out to us on the email below with any questions at all, If we dont know the answer we will happily pass it along to Scott.
