Reid Zimmerman, PE, SE

Technical Director, KPFF Consulting Engineers

Two approaches to engineering. For the NHERI Tallwood research project, practicing engineer Reid Zimmerman has been working with engineers in academia to produce a full-scale, 10-story wood building. The Tallwood structure is an experimental specimen that also looks and functions like a “real,” engineer-designed building. In this episode, Zimmerman talks about working with fellow engineers in the “applied research” capacity.
