Simpson Strong-Tie launches structural engineering blog

PLEASANTON, Calif. – Simpson Strong-Tie recently launched a Structural Engineering Blog to provide information and resources specifically for structural engineers. The blog is intended to spark discussion and provide a forum for dialogue among peers that structural engineers can apply in their current line of work. Simpson Strong-Tie Engineering R&D Manager Paul McEntee is leading the conversation and posts to the blog weekly. McEntee also responds to comments posted on the blog.

The blog includes posts about what’s going on in the structural engineering industry, trends in design and materials, code updates, and sneak peeks into Simpson Strong-Tie R&D, testing and manufacturing processes. Going forward, the blog will include guest posts from other structural engineers within Simpson Strong-Tie, as well as from recognized industry experts and other influential leaders.

“We want our Structural Engineering Blog to help create and facilitate conversations with structural engineers that weren’t happening before. We think this is a good way to help our customers feel more comfortable using social media tools, as well as to engage with us in exchanging ideas and best practices,” McEntee noted.

Structural engineers are encouraged to subscribe to email updates and post comments to the blog at seblog.strongtie.com.
