Building Designers - @PankowFdn is pleased share "ASCE/SEI Prestandard for Perfomance-Based Wind Design" with thanks to our co-funding partners @aisc @ACIFoundation @MKA_Foundation and ASCE ILC. Great job @ASCE_SEI https://t.co/evD3wruitr
Celebrating the topping out of Rainier Square Tower in Seattle today! It's the FIRST high-rise use of #SpeedCore (a concrete-filled composite plate shear wall system) topping out in just 10 months thanks to the amazing steel fabricators & erection crew! #mkawesome #researchrocks
Structural Engineers - Check out @PankowFdn new research report Substantiating Design Coefficients and Factors for Coupled Composite Plate Shear Walls-Concrete Filled, RGA #05-17 by Michel Bruneau @UBuffalo and @prof_varma @PurdueEngineers
The Embodied Carbon Calculator for Construction is an open source tool that tracks emissions of raw building materials helping better report and reduce embodied carbon. Thanks to Prof. Kate Simonen of UW for her continued championing of the project!
