Jon Magnusson is the single most charismatic structural engineer I have met. I am privileged to be able to go to his talks in person. His articulate speech and fascinating picks in projects never ceases to amaze me.
Wonderful lecture!! It gives a good shape to the ideas you have! Forgot the time...Just floating in his words...He is a great professor as well a Structural Engineer!
Thank you for your work and this information! Students from Ukraine, mostly, can't get such knowledge while they are studying in university, and such lectures are very important and useful for them. I'm postgraduate from Ukraine, so thank you one more time! :)
@@damianmurray5290 - Damian, do you actually believe the "study" this video talks about is a genuine quest for truth? It is widely known/believed that Building 7 was "pulled." I don't have time just now to revisit all of this, but it was all over the media that Building 7 was deliberately demolished. One example was "America Rebuilds," a PBS documentary, in which World Trade Center owner Larry Silverstein admits to giving the order to "pull" Building 7. If that's the case, showing how such a building could hypothetically collapse is not a relevant question.
At 2:52, he said horizontal displacement caused by earthquake.. questions is why is only the train rail displaced and not the soil and gravel underneath it?
There's a bit of a quarrel in our country about Architects v. Engineers getting projects, I think they'll find this amusing. :) COLLABORATION. DEAL WITH IT PEOPLE.
In the event of an earthquake, if the soil is saturated enough than the particles of soil will shake and move closer together. The water which was between the particles, is under pressure now and will move upwards. All this makes the soil loose its strength and settle. This roughly describes the phenomenon.
During earthquake pore pressure increases in the soil and effective stress will reduce to a point where soil flow like a liquid this condition is termed as liquefaction.
The way he explains these things has a certain charm to it. I guess this is what the peak of passion and hard work looks like.

Need more civil engineering professors to teach like this guy.
Agreed
all professors!

Hii
This was amazing. Thank you, i needed to fall in love with structures again
thank's from germany... we need to do more to show the people the importance and the work of structural engineers
👍😁
True. It is a great lecture.
Very interesting so informative for us. It's truly helpful to learn more.Thanks a lot Sir 💐
This, and the books by J.E. Gordon are the only decent laymans guides to structural engineering I have come across.
I have that book! Its amazing so far
Thanks for the lecture Jon, it made me praise the Lord for do not have earthquakes here in Brazil.
I cant tell you how many videos like this ive watched looking for an applied formula sheet or any that get into the actual math.
I wonder what maintenance is like for the dampeners as times goes by
At 2:52, he said horizontal displacement caused by earthquake.. questions is why is only the train rail displaced and not the soil and gravel underneath it?
The soil/gravel is not a rigid structure
Thanks from Argentina! Fascinating talk.
ONE WORD ====== EPIC!
Agreed.
I want to work there now.
Than you for the lecture sir. 💖
the shape is called Pentagonal hexecontahedron
This guy has Saul Goodman’s vibes. Excellent content
thks for taking of your time to teach me those things sir! is it bad to be a civil engineer and also an electrical engineer?
Absolutely not if you understand both engineering principles.
Nice video
This is so cool

So where is the data on the distributions of steel and concrete down the Twin Towers?
damn knowledge !!!
What is meant by "if the soil liquifies" ?
In the event of an earthquake, if the soil is saturated enough than the particles of soil will shake and move closer together. The water which was between the particles, is under pressure now and will move upwards. All this makes the soil loose its strength and settle. This roughly describes the phenomenon.
Frédéric François Chopin basically quicksand
During earthquake pore pressure increases in the soil and effective stress will reduce to a point where soil flow like a liquid this condition is termed as liquefaction.
Exactly what it sounds like. The substance that once acted as a solid, quickly becomes a liquid.
A balance between Imagination and Energy

I need to become a Structual Engineer so I can help rebuild Puerto Rico with better designed homes to withstand winds of 200+ mph and beyond!
two words: reinforced concrete.
Better Call Saul!
Is the Pentagon sphere building SUPPOSED TO look like an H2O molecule?
what is in the damn water ???
Well Down
!
This is really interesting and all, but the other title for this video could also be "A series of jokes falling flat".
