Jon Magnusson - 'Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Structural Engineering'

The world of the structural engineer may sometimes seem strange to the builder. This presentation gives greater insight into what an engineer actually does and how it influences what goes into the plans and specifications.
Magnusson is a senior principal with Magnusson Klemencic in Seattle.
Presented at the AGC of Washington 2016 Annual Convention.

The way he explains these things has a certain charm to it. I guess this is what the peak of passion and hard work looks like.

Jon Magnusson is the single most charismatic structural engineer I have met. I am privileged to be able to go to his talks in person. His articulate speech and fascinating picks in projects never ceases to amaze me.

Thank you for your work and this information! Students from Ukraine, mostly, can't get such knowledge while they are studying in university, and such lectures are very important and useful for them. I'm postgraduate from Ukraine, so thank you one more time! :)

This, and the books by J.E. Gordon are the only decent laymans guides to structural engineering I have come across.

[jamesatkins]

I wonder what maintenance is like for the dampeners as times goes by

[onegrail]

I cant tell you how many videos like this ive watched looking for an applied formula sheet or any that get into the actual math.

At 2:52, he said horizontal displacement caused by earthquake.. questions is why is only the train rail displaced and not the soil and gravel underneath it?

[MatiasGoros]

Thanks from Argentina! Fascinating talk.

So where is the data on the distributions of steel and concrete down the Twin Towers?

[diegoduenas]

This guy has Saul Goodman’s vibes. Excellent content

[balaportejean]

thks for taking of your time to teach me those things sir! is it bad to be a civil engineer and also an electrical engineer?

[carloacilo]

There's a bit of a quarrel in our country about Architects v. Engineers getting projects, I think they'll find this amusing. :) COLLABORATION. DEAL WITH IT PEOPLE.
