About

Scott Erickson's depth of structural engineering experience in high-rise residential, hotel, and office tower design and management is significant. For more than 25 years, his celebration of architectural ideas while maintaining economy of structure and ease of construction have pleased many architects, owners, and contractors alike. He is known for his strong leadership in managing large scale projects and his longstanding technical background in performance based design give project teams the freedom to explore unique big-picture lateral framing solutions without constraints. His focus on design details throughout deliver success.

As a young engineer, he worked on one of the first seismic performance based design buildings in the United States in Seattle, Washington. He was also the first in the country to use grade 80 longitudinal reinforcing in a concrete shear wall lateral system in a San Francisco high rise. Partially due to his effort working with peer reviewers on this performance based design project and requiring low cycle fatigue tests on the bars, the newest version of the ACI code now allows this. He is now currently on the ACI 318 Wind Performance Based Design subcommittee, actively developing provisions and acceptance criteria for tall concrete buildings designed to take advantage of the latest state of the art.
