Consulting Structural Engineer with Coulbourne Consulting

Mr. Coulbourne has a Civil Engineering degree from Virginia Tech and a master’s degree in Structural Engineering from the University of Virginia. He has more than 40 years of experience in the engineering and construction business. Most of this experience has been focused on buildings, with the last 15 years exclusively devoted to engineering solutions to the problems created by high wind and flood events including hurricanes and tornadoes. Mr. Coulbourne is actively engaged in guidelines and standards used by engineering professionals and builders for improving the performance of buildings in natural hazard environments, and he has been part of damage assessment teams for many major high wind and flood events. He teaches high wind and flooding design concepts for design professionals through workshops and webinars and has authored several high wind design guides including the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Coastal Construction Manual. Mr. Coulbourne is active in the engineering standards work of American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 7 Minimum Design Loads on Buildings and Other Structures and ASCE 24 Flood Resistant Design and Construction. He is a licensed professional engineer in Delaware, Virginia, and Maryland and he is a certified structural engineer and certified building inspection engineer. Mr. Coulbourne has taught as an adjunct faculty member in the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Delaware.
