Nabih Youssef & Associates

Nabih Youssef & Associates is performing the structural plan check review for the City of Inglewood for the new $600 million, 915,000 SF, 20,000 seat basketball arena. The arena is being constructed with a steel frame, precast seat risers, and a BRBF lateral system. The plan check includes 3 separate parking garages, 2 retail buildings, a pedestrian bridge, and all non-structural components including deferred approval packages. #NYA #NabihyoussefAssociates #AECOM #IntuitDome #structuralPlan #structuralEngineer #SteveBallmer #CityofInglewood 

Congratulations to Marios Panagiotou, PhD, PE on hitting a fantastic 9-year milestone with our company! Your dedication, expertise, and positive attitude have been invaluable to our team. Thank you for all you do, and here's to many more years of success together! #NYA ##NYAFamily #WorkAnniversary #TeamPlayer #ProudMoment #MilestoneMoment ##Grateful

We're proud to be associated with projects that celebrate history, community, and innovation, and It's always inspiring to see such a thoughtfully designed space that honors the cultural heritage. #NYA #NabihYoussef #StructuralEngineer #FirstAmericansMuseum #CulturalHeritage #Innovation #CommunityImpact #MuseumDesign #CelebratingCulture #DesignInspiration

Congratulations to our incredible team! Your work on advancing seismic design is both impressive and deeply meaningful. What a beautiful way to honor Nabih Youssef's legacy! #NYA #Teamwork #Nabihyoussef #Seismicdesign

As a result of a highly collaborative effort of Nabih Youssef & Associates (Marios Panagiotou, PhD, PE, Mina Riad, PhD, P.E., Daniel Tunick, Eleanor Siow, PE, Elie Elkhoury, Anthony Giammona, S.E., Jonathan Buckalew, S.E., Sudharshan Navalpakkam, Raghu Gupta, P.E., Michael Gemmill, Andres Rodriguez Burneo), I had the pleasure to present our paper "Nonlinear Response History Analysis of the New UCSF Health Helen Diller Hospital (HHDH): SSI Studies" during the 2024 SEAOC Convention. The $4.3 billion UCSF HHDH at Parnassus Heights will be a state-of-the-art facility serving the Bay area in California. Its seismic resisting system will consist of a special steel moment-resisting frame (SMF) supplemented with nonlinear fluid viscous dampers. The nonlinear response history analysis of this structure incorporated the foundation modeling and a simplified soil-structure interaction (SSI) approach. In this paper we studied the sensitivity of the nonlinear dynamic response to key foundation modeling parameters. These studies are part of our efforts, in collaboration with Jose Restrepo, to incorporate the effects of nonlinear seismic SSI in our performance based seismic design (PBSD) practice. This work is dedicated to the memory of Nabih Youssef, who passed away in July 2024, in recognition of his profound wisdom, exceptional mentorship, and enduring legacy.

2024 Best Project Awards California Region - Best Restoration/Renovation. University of Southern CA United University Church, Los Angeles. We are delighted to share that USC United University Church has been honored as one of the ENR California Best Projects winners in the Renovation/Restoration category! University of Southern California United University Church (UUC) is a historically significant building transformation for the School of Dramatic Arts (SDA). The scope includes extensive architectural, structural, and building system upgrades, delivering a highly sustainable building with a goal of LEED Platinum with a new use that embraces the historic features of the building while creating a dynamic new home for SDA. The structural scope includes a demo and replacement of the existing stair from 34th Street to the Courtyard, removal and replacement of the existing elevator with a larger elevator, a new freight elevator in 3-story addition, theatrical platforms, structural support, and seismic bracing for theater pipe grid, rigging and lighting systems, and acoustic panels, new ceilings, seismic bracing for Audio Lab walls, and structural support for operable walls.  https://lnkd.in/eyKW3cCX #NYA #ProjectWin #AwardAnnouncement #Innovation #Excellence #Teamwork #ProudMoment #Engineering #ENRBestProjects #Renovation #Restoration #AwardWinning #ProudMoment

UCSF NEW HOSPITAL AT PARNASSUS HEIGHTS The NHPH project consists of a new tower with 15 above-ground stories, one full B1 level basement level, and one partial B2 level basement level. The tower is located on a highly constrained site bounded by Parnassus Avenue to the north, Medical Center Way to the east, a loading dock access road to the south, and existing Moffit and Long hospitals to the West. Additionally, a large network of cantilevers expands the perimeter of the building beyond the perimeter columns. These constraints have produced a structure with unique and impressive geometry. The new tower is adjacent to, but seismically independent from, the existing Moffit and Long hospitals. Flexible connections allow connectivity between the new and existing buildings. The Lateral Force Resisting system of the tower will consist of a Special Steel Moment Resisting Frame using SidePlate™ connections supplemented with fluid viscous dampers. The moment frames and dampers are distributed throughout the plan based on architectural constraints and programming limitations. Nonlinear modeling of the fluid viscous dampers and PBSD is used to validate the structural system, demonstrating the demanding performance needed for a California Hospital. #universityofcalifornia #ucsf #sanfrancisco #losangeles #nabihyoussef #nabihyoussefassociates #structuralengineering #structuralengineer #earthquake #earthquakeengineering #ucsfmedicalcenter #webcore
