Speakers
Cliff Bishop
Licensed Professional and Structural Engineer, at Exponent, Inc.Dr. Bishop specializes in the holistic evaluation of building and bridge structures. While at Exponent, he has led investigations of concrete, steel, wood, and masonry structures and their interior finishes and building envelope components that were damaged as a result of design/construction defects, construction procedures, and natural hazards, such as wind, floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes. These investigations typically include on-site testing and documentation, analysis of structural and non-structural component response, interpretation and application of building codes and standards, and identification of the most appropriate repair. He often employs sophisticated engineering analysis and state-of-the-art research in support of these investigations. Dr. Bishop sound engineering advice provides the basis necessary for building owners, insurers, and other stakeholders to make informed decisions.
