We take pride in getting the information (with test borings) our clients need to design new foundations and carry this same regard into our pile installations and underpinning services.

Structural engineers at Johns Hopkins are analyzing the effects of seismic forces on multistory cold-formed steel buildings. Why? In addition to being strong and resilient, cold-formed steel is 100% recycled, 100% recyclable, lighter in weight and less costly than many structural materials.

To determine how buildings perform during earthquakes, structural engineers use shake tables to realistically simulate earthquake motion. Cameras film the events from multiple angles for later intensive study, and special sensors, called accelerometers, measure and record the building’s rate of movement.

Building codes state that a building must be built to withstand all actions that it's likely to face during its service life, which includes specifics depending on your location. Structural engineers are trained in building codes, so the know how to follow them and give you a safe building.

Little things make a big difference. Structural engineers have long known strong winds create uplift forces that rip roofs off buildings. Hurricane Andrew confirmed something else we often recommend: Roofs attached to structural walls with nails, not staples, are more likely to survive hurricane winds.

We call it the “safety margin.” Structural engineers design buildings to be stronger and sturdier than day-to-day conditions require. Why? Because sometimes, Mother Nature dumps 24 inches of snow onto your roof overnight, and snow can weigh up to 25 pounds per square foot.

Our staff is expertly trained and experienced in test borings and rock coring for geotechnical investigations and studies on residential, commercial, municipal and industrial projects. We handle soil borings, rock corings, observation wells and in-situ wellings.

Structural engineers play a critical role in the assessment of building safety for any construction project. They provide calculations, specifications, and reports to guide architects and contractors in properly executing the project.

Today, straw bales are considered an unusual building material, but for millennia straw has been used in home construction. Straw bale construction is gaining popularity with some structural engineers. Why? In recent tests, a straw bale home withstood forces greater than a magnitude 7.6 earthquake.

The input of structural engineers is needed for more than protecting and reassuring the public that a structure is safe. Their work also protects the architect and builder from severe legal repercussions from a failed building by making sure it is sound to begin with.

A bending load means that the force or load acts perpendicular to the material, like pushing down on an I-beam or structural beam. Structural engineers take this into account when planning a building and make the appropriate bending structures to counter them.

Once you have made the decision to move forward with your project, it is important to assemble the design team as soon as possible to begin planning. The dialogue between architects and structural engineers needs plenty of time in order to take your ideas and make sure they will work.

You might be tempted to only bring in a structural engineer when plans need to be drawn up, but this can lead to a lot of design and specification revision. To help you get the most out of your time and budget, it’s better to involve structural engineers as soon as possible.
