In business since 2005

I have 13 years of experience in structural engineering and a solid background in the construction industry. For the past four years, I have been involved in forensic engineering with an emphasis in foundation failure analysis. I am licensed in the State of Colorado as a Professional Engineer.\n\nUnfortunately, we live in an area where swelling soils is a common problem. Clay soil or claystone bedrock will attract and absorb moisture causing them to swell in volume. Hence, the name swelling soils. This phenomenon may result in minor to severe damage to a home�s foundation due to movement. Wall and/or ceiling drywall cracking and problems with doors may be an indication of foundation problems. If you are experiencing these conditions, I can help assess the situation and give you opinions that will help you reach an informed decision. \n\nFoundation problems are my specialty and the only type of work I do. I can help you understand what is happening to cause your foundation problems and advise you on your best course of action. In addition, foundation companies make their money by selling you piers; I can review their proposal and give you guidance.\n\n

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

Through detailed analysis of load paths, materials, and existing damages.

Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Precast concrete can be reinforced with rebar, wire mesh, or other materials to improve its strength and add stability. Precast concrete for large construction projects is often pre-stressed as well for greater structural strength. Reinforced concrete is durable and strong, making it an ideal choice for many construction projects.
