Come join us this week in SEAOC as we welcome Buro Happold with Will Adam and Nicole O'Connor, who are both BS and MS ARCE graduates!
This presentation will give a brief introduction to Buro Happold’s façade team as well as introduce a case study of the University of Michigan Center for Innovation. Currently in construction, this project showcases how unitized façade components can navigate complex architectural features. Similarly, seismic isolation presents the challenge of balancing structural resilience, serviceability, constructability, and long-term performance within a single engineering solution. The second half of this presentation will introduce seismic base isolation through a confidential pedestrian bridge project that utilizes triple friction pendulum isolators to reduce earthquake demands on the structure. It will provide an introduction to isolation elements, the factors that led to their selection for the project, and some of the unique considerations and nuances involved in their analysis and design.

Will Adam graduated from Cal Poly's B.S./M.S. blended Architectural Engineering (ARCE) program in the Class of 2022 and is a façade engineer at Buro Happold.
He specializes in façade structural analysis and the design and development of architectural façade systems.

Nicole O’Connor is a senior structural engineer with Buro Happold who graduated from the ARCE blended program in 2021. She enjoys working on multi-disciplinary projects with complex geometries and challenges. by @cpseaoc

Come to SEAOC this week to listen to Kit Miyamoto talk about Earthquake Disaster Response, Reconstruction and Risk Reduction. We will be enjoying High Street Deli!

Dr. H. Kit Miyamoto, P.E., S.E. is the CEO of Miyamoto International, a global engineering and disaster risk management firm with 30 locations across five continents. He leads with a singular mission: to make the world a better, safer place.
A world renowned expert in disaster resiliency, response, and reconstruction, Dr. Miyamoto has directed major response, recovery and risk reduction efforts in Haiti, Syria, Turkey, Afghanistan,
Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Mexico, Ukraine, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Venezuela. He provides high level engineering and policy guidance to the U.S. government, the World Bank,
United Nations agencies, national governments, and Fortunelevel corporations. He also serves as
a California Seismic Safety Commissioner.
Dr. Miyamoto earned his PhD from the Tokyo Institute of Technology and holds an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from California State University, Chico, where he is recognized as a Distinguished Alumnus. Under his leadership, Miyamoto International has received the
Engineering NewsRecord Best Global Project award an unprecedented five times, as well as the U.S. Presidential “E” Award for excellence in international trade.
His work and impact have been featured by CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, Al Jazeera, the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and Rolling Stone. He was also showcased in the National Building Museum’s landmark exhibit Designing for Disaster in Washington, D.C. by @cpseaoc

Want to see structural engineering come to life? Come to our first site visit this Friday in downtown SLO!

Monterey Family is a mixed-use affordable housing development that includes a five-story, 46-unit residential and commercial building, a duplex and triplex, and a three-story parking structure, along with associated site improvements. The project is currently under construction, so it should give you a great opportunity to see the structural components and construction process firsthand!

Last month, Cal Poly SEAOC took on Southern California!

11 of our students traveled down the coast for two days of exploring structural engineering practice and graduate education across Orange County and San Diego.

We kicked off the trip with LPA in Irvine, visiting their completed Coastline College project (featuring slanted shear walls!) and got to participate in their monthly company-wide all hands-on meeting. From there we headed south to San Diego to visit the UC San Diego Department of Structural Engineering, where students got an inside look at graduate study and research opportunities in structural engineering.

On Friday, we finished up our SoCal tour with a visit to KPFF in San Diego. We learned a lot about their fascinating projects in the region, and even got to tour a biotech lab they are working on by UCSD’s campus!

Trips like these give our students the opportunity to step outside the classroom and build connections with industry professionals across California and beyond.

A huge thank you to @lpainc, @kpff_sd, and @ucsdstructeng for taking the time to welcome our students and share your experiences with us! by @cpseaoc

Join us this week as we welcome Blake Roskelley from Clark Pacific and enjoy some Petra Mediterranean! Blake will discuss career paths beyond traditional consulting and how to identify opportunities for innovation, and will also be joined by current ARCE student Estevan Perez to share his experience as a Clark Pacific intern this past summer.

Blake is a Cal Poly ARCE alumnus (BS 2009; MS 2010) and a California licensed structural engineer. He currently serves as Director of Preconstruction at Clark Pacific, where he is responsible for the preliminary design coordination and growth of Clark Pacific's data center business. Blake has been with Clark Pacific since late 2019, after spending nearly a decade in structural engineering consulting. by @cpseaoc

Join us this Friday to hear from Hooman Tavallali of Cannon and enjoy Nobu Hawaiian!
Hooman Tavallali will be presenting two structural engineering case studies. The focus will be on the engineering challenges involved and the problem-solving process used to develop practical solutions. The first case study will cover the seismic evaluation of an elevated water tank for the City of El Monte. The second case study will discuss a large infrastructure project at a spaceport facility in South Texas. by @cpseaoc

While most students were enjoying the first week of school, a select group of SEAOC Student Chapter board members headed to Scottsdale, AZ, for the SEAOC Convention!
Our Vice President, Ryan Lovejoy, and Treasurer, Paul Quinter, had the opportunity to present on the Seismic Outreach Program they implemented at Cal Poly over the past year.
Four other board members — Sierra Lieske, Samantha Mustafa, Katelyn Nguyen, and Cynthia Messing — also attended the convention as volunteers. When they weren’t cooling off by the pool or attending technical sessions, they could be found at the registration desk checking attendees in, answering questions, and helping make the convention a success.
The SEAOC Convention is an incredible opportunity for the structural engineering community to come together, share knowledge and expertise, and build friendships that last a lifetime. We’re grateful to have been a part of it this year and look forward to sending the next group of students to Monterey for next year’s convention! taken in Scottsdale by @cpseaoc
