If you live in the Bay Area, you’ve probably heard this term at some point, but land reclamation is not just relevant to the Bay Area. We reached out to Cary Ronan, an experienced geotechnical engineer, to help explain what land reclamation is and how it works.

We talk with Bob DeGroot and learn about ShakeAlert, the USGS' earthquake early warning system.

In the second episode of The Deconstructed Podcast, our amazing hosts, Elide and Andrew, talk to a wood construction expert, Kelly Cobeen, about something else that can go wrong in the typical home during an earthquake. Let’s talk about “nonstructural components”.

In this episode of The Deconstructed Podcast we take a look at wood homes and how they perform during earthquakes. Kelly Cobeen, a structural engineer with over 30 years of experience and an expert on the topic, joins us and explains what we should expect when the shaking starts. This is part one of a two part series on the effects of earthquakes on single family homes. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so you can hear part two as soon as it’s available.
