I design elegant buildings that resist extreme loads, survive fires, and enable a resilient community. My free time is happily spent enjoying the outdoors.

Slightly biased, but I have to say this is the most impressive student capstone I've seen. Great use of material testing to address fire questions and very timely given the state of timber in Canada. Well done Bronwyn, Georgette, and team! x.com/GalesFireSafet…

Entuitive’s Matthew Smith will be at the CSCE 2018 Annual Conference in Fredericton to talk about Annex K and demonstrate how structural fire design can be used to benefit new and existing buildings. Matt will present his paper written with @GalesFireSafety and George Frater.

Fire engineering session this morning at CSCE 2018 covered various topics including innovative timber products, performance-based fire design with structural steel, and multi-hazards (fire & earthquake). Here Matthew Smith introduces the first of three Annex K case studies

Morning runs are a fantastic way to explore new cities before the busy conference day kicks off. Seen here, the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge is a former railway bridge now part of an extensive trail network that runs throughout Fredericton. CSCE 2018

This was a great paper to collaborate with them on! Fire testing of the timber beams confirmed some design approaches and also brought to light research needs x.com/entuitive/stat…

Can confirm: we have incredible leaders at Entuitive that make it a fantastic place to be. A well deserved award for Brock x.com/Entuitive/stat…

While others are watching world cup finals, I'm watching the shoot-out at the Goodwood FOS. The central feature is always an engineering feat, check out this years Porsche sculpture: youtube.com/watch?v=lcCqem…

Congratulations @HaileyQuiquero! To successfully defend with no revisions needed is quite an accomplishment. x.com/GalesFireSafet…

Really proud to have contributed to this paper! It gives a much needed Canadian context on Performance-Based Fire Design, including what is being done internationally in contemporary buildings and immediate opportunities for Canada x.com/HaileyQuiquero…

Entuitive is very proud to have contributed as both structural and envelope consultant to our NASA Centennial Challenge team, led by SEArch+ and Apis Cor. This result put us in the upper tier for the first section of this phase of the competition.

Wish I could have attended the presentation! I had a sneak peak at the slide deck and Ben describes resilience as it relates to critical bridge infrastructure quite well. Well done!

Thoroughly enjoyed the talk this morning on technological disruption and relating it to the AEC industry. I actually just finished Yuval Noah Harari #homo_deus and could see a lot of similar themes

Glad to see our talk so well attended today! I hope everyone was able to learn something about #fire and remember, the applications for Annex K range from the very simple to the more complex like we focused on in the talk.

Thanks again to @CISC_ICCA for organizing a fantastic conference in Halifax and inviting us over to give a talk on fire. Lots of great technical sessions showing the possibilities with #steel. Time to go for a run and see the city!

Found a great place to sit this afternoon and get some work done! And yes, the inside photo is from the cantilever @ Halifax Central Library instagram.com/p/BoAa3t0jU0R/…

Proud to be an author on the ASCE Structural Fire Engineering Manual of Practice, now published. Let's hope the guidance in this document is put to good use in Canada as well, either as a reference doc or actually adapted (through CSCE?) ascelibrary.org/doi/book/10.10…
