Request an Assessment>> Core Competencies
We engineer structures that stand the test of time, focusing on safety, sustainability, and clear communication.
Mass Timber Systems
Sustainable, beautiful, and robust. We specialize in CLT and glulam engineering for commercial spaces.
- Lower carbon footprint
- Faster erection times
Seismic Retrofit
Upgrading historical and vulnerable masonry buildings to withstand extreme tectonic events.
- Preserve historic value
- Life-safety compliance
Advanced Analysis
Utilizing 3D modeling to simulate environmental stresses before ground is even broken.
- Material optimization
- Clash detection
>> System Architecture
Over 1.2 million square feet engineered in the Pacific Northwest.
Based in the heart of Portland, Oregon, SteelRoot Dynamics was founded on a simple principle: structural engineering shouldn't be a black box. We believe in collaborative design where safety and sustainability go hand-in-hand.
What sets us apart is our highly specific operational workflow. We utilize advanced ETABS non-linear time-history analysis to model precise seismic load paths in mid-rise mass timber frames. This ensures your project doesn't just meet the baseline, but actively exceeds ASCE 7-22 requirements for long-term resilience.
We conduct rigorous site surveys and geotechnical reviews to understand the literal foundation of your vision.
Our team deploys ETABS and Revit to create a digital twin, simulating wind and seismic loads accurately.
We remain active during construction, providing rapid RFI responses and site visits to ensure structural fidelity.
*Consultations outside the Portland metro area may incur travel fees.
