The Structural Engineering Podcast

Is AI about to redesign the future of structural engineering? In Episode 96, the Structural Engineering Podcast sits down with a leading AI expert to explore how artificial intelligence is shaking up the AEC industry. From automated design to predictive modeling, we dive into the tech trends that could transform how engineers work, build, and innovate. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or already experimenting with AI tools, this episode is your starting blueprint for what's coming next.

In this episode, we test our knowledge of an AISC design document, Design Guide #1 - Base Plate Connections. This is the first DG we read as we entered the working world, and we think it's worthwhile to revisit it occasionally.

In this week's episode, we discuss famous structural engineering failures. From the Hyatt Regency Collapse to Ronan Point, these instances have been crucial in helping us develop our profession and design safer, more appealing structures for the world. Creating the built environment inevitably involves mistakes; they only become a complete loss when we fail to learn from them.

In this episode, we discuss the seismic systems we've used and have dreamed of using, as well as the new systems and latest research. This is a pretty fun overview of the seismic systems available to us, so take a listen and check out all the links below.
