GW Studio is an exchange of experience and ideas addressing the design aspects of structural engineering.  Our studio vision is to focus upon service to our fellow designers and communities, while pursuing advancement and new technologies with dedicated thought to meeting the challenges of environmental, economic, and social sustainability.
With backgrounds in building, academics and research, we share knowledge of seismic analysis and performance, laminated mass timber, heavy timber and light wood framing, steel and aluminum, reinforced and post-tensioned concrete, masonry and composites.  Studio experience ranges from detailed low-rise architecture to twenty story structures, bridges, sports arenas, schools, churches, civic art installations, multi-family and mixed-use post-tensioned podium structures, hospitals, commercial offices, resort lodges, and industrial complexes.  Seismic design topics include non-linear time history analysis and performance- based design, ductile concrete moment frames, special steel moment frames, buckling restrained braces, vertical post-tensioned concrete shearwalls, and mode shaping / tuned mass dampening systems.
