Structural Engineering is a profession that studies and applies the laws of math and physics to predict building behavior and design the “bones” of man-made structures. The language of structural engineering can seem overwhelming for non-engineers, but this podcast will change that. Fluent in steel, concrete masonry and timber design, Kari Sebern, P.E. simplifies major concepts of structural design, both enlightening non-engineers about structural design and inspiring experienced engineers to look at things differently. Join Kari and fellow industry leading engineers as they dissect the structural design of buildings. From within your walls, they'll tell the story behind their design and how the building stands today.
