UNSTRUCT
From within your walls, hear the stories behind how your building stands today. 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.
In this episode, we talk with Roger Krulak, Founder and Principal at FullStack Modular and David Farnsworth, PE, Principal at Arup. We talk about the best project delivery system and about options available for modular construction. Roger and David have worked on numerous modular construction projects, creating structures that exceed 20 stories tall, truly building...
In this episode, Julian Lineham, PE, Founding Principal at Studio NYL, talks about the Bonnett Springs Park project. This site was previously inaccessible due to an abandoned rail line. So by removing the abandoned line, many acres of land were suddenly opened up and accessible. This project includes the design and construction of several buildings...

How is structural safety ensured during construction? Contractors and erectors are great at their jobs but sometimes complex structures need additional engineering support during construction. While this temporary condition is typically outside the scope of the engineer of record’s work as they are designing for the final built condition, it does not mean that engineering...
