Our March meeting will be presented by Professor Metin Oguzmert from KSU. Dr. Oguzmert is presently an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering. If you were fortunate enough to attend the December meeting he presented on a seismic strengthening of a high-rise building. He will now be presenting on several unique cases of strengthening steel and concrete structures that he wasn’t able to cover in his December presentation.
