"The triangle is a very stable shape which won't deform when loads are applied to it."
"The beauty of the yurt is the outer structure is very simple, there's very little exterior maintenance to keep up with."
"So... you built a bridge which is not very resistant to shear forces, like a force that acts on it from the side, because it's designed to rotate, right?"
"This bridge right here, this was a really cool build going from one side to the other."

"Structural design is a highly creative activity, and not just a case of plugging numbers into formulae."
"By accepting structural damage, we're going to a longer period and correspondingly longer drift, developing lower forces within that structure."
"The best way that you can raise your capacity to handle punching shear is to increase your column size."
"We very much use ductility to beat earthquakes, not strength."
"Your steel connections will have very good rotation capacity for seismic drifts."
"The aim of the capacity design is to protect important elements like columns or non-ductile elements and mechanisms like shear."
"The ability to select the thinnest wall section that satisfies lateral drift requirements is a powerful feature."
"If you are designing a moment frame, be careful to remember that there's actually a panel zone in the column."
"The settlement will be greatest at the center and become less and less towards the edge."
