Join the College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture this Thursday, March 13, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., in the Hursey Makerspace for a Speaker Series. Hear from Doug Graham ‘82, M’97, Principal and leader of SLAM’s Structural Engineering Studio, about “Modified Concrete, Engineered Lumber and Recycled Steel — Innovative Sustainable Materials Reshaping Structural Engineering.
This presentation explores traditional Structural Engineering materials used in larger, commercial buildings and the cutting-edge sustainable materials revolutionizing structural engineering. It focuses on three key innovations: Modified Concrete, Engineered Lumber for Mass Timber, and Recycled Steel.
The presentation will highlight how these materials are reshaping structural engineering practices, balancing strength requirements with sustainability goals. It will also discuss the role of advanced technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the accounting of carbon.
Light dinner and drinks will be provided. No registration is required.
