Civil Engineer · Site Author
I'm a practicing civil engineer with over 15 years of hands-on experience in
structural design, building inspections, and geotechnical engineering. Before that
I spent 10 years in academic research and university teaching, publishing
20+ peer-reviewed papers in soil mechanics and foundation engineering.
I built BuildingClub to share the calculators I use in my own practice.
Every formula on this site references a specific building code or verified
engineering source — no guesswork.
Background
- Education B.Eng. in Industrial & Civil Engineering and M.Sc. in Underground & Urban Construction — Perm National Research Polytechnic University — both degrees with honors
- Practice Structural analysis and design, building condition surveys, full-scale load testing of structures and foundations. Construction consulting for private clients across all project stages.
- Academia 10 years of university teaching and research. 20+ peer-reviewed publications in geotechnics, pile foundations, and soil-structure interaction — including international conference proceedings.
Research & Publications
My research focused on pile testing, deep foundation design, and soil behavior under load. Papers appeared in engineering journals and international conference proceedings. Full publication lists:
