The Structuralist Multi-Lat™ Engineering Weblog
Welcome to the Structuralist Engineering Weblog! The Blog was created primarily for the Structural Engineering Community using our Multi-Lat(tm) 2006 IBC (ASCE 7-05) Lateral Design spreadsheet for Excel 97-2007. A user’s manual is being developed to be posted on the site which is currently under development.
We will also report on engineering software, reference materials, methods and discussions related to structural design of light-framed low rise structures (residential, commercial and industrial). We invite all structural engineering professionals to participate. In addition to our Multi-Lat instruction, we will discuss the general problems we face in practice on a daily bases.
The Structuralist Weblog is owned and operated by Dennis S. Wish, PE – a California Professional Engineer and Structural Engineering Consultant who has been in private practice for 22 years in Southern California. We specialize in custom residential design and seismic retrofit and repair of wood, unreinforced masonry and concrete structures since 1986.
The weblog will also focus on the creation of structural engineering tools using common software such as spreadsheets, TEDDs(tm) and MathCad(tm). Our goal is to help engineers in practice develope their own engineering tools and in the process gain a fuller understanding of the code’s relationship to the performance of structures.
Dennis,
We appreciate your dedication to upgrade the industry and help us all make sense of the suttle complexities of the new CBC 2007 building codes
Thanks,

Thank you Jim for your comment. I am hoping to start a new listservice for those who wish to continue to discuss and focus on the IBC 2006 (especially those of us in California) and the ASCE 7-05 that make me feel like a new student again at almost sixty years old. What was the song by Paul McCartny “When I’m 64″?
Thanks again for the support
Dennis
