  • Structural Engineer Approved

    I’m a structural engineer who frequently works in light frame construction so I’m constantly specifying and relying on plate connected trusses. Because of that, I need to be intimately familiar with how they are designed and operated, and this podcast gives me tons of info that I incorporate into my approach for when and how I design light-frame wood projects .
