Magnusson Klemencic Associates

Aswegan

Kevin Aswegan, a principal at Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA), has been named a Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) Fellow by The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The designation recognizes accomplished SEI members as leaders and mentors in the structural engineering profession.

Aswegan's contributions to the engineering profession include authorship of the book, “Design and Performance of Tall Buildings for Wind,” and his industry leadership related to seismicity and performance-based design.

He is the leader of MKA's Performance-Based Design Technical Specialist Team (TST) and a member of the firm's Earthquake and Wind TSTs. His latest project, ATX Tower, for which he was structural project manager, is under construction in Austin, TX, and is the world's first high-rise tower to incorporate the ASCE Prestandard for Performance-Based Wind Design (PBWD). PBWD is revolutionizing how tall buildings are designed for wind loads, creating more reliable, lower-carbon, and less costly buildings.

With this designation, Aswegan joins fellow MKA SEI Fellows Ron Klemencic, chairman and CEO; John Hooper, senior principal; and Jon Magnusson, chairman emeritus.
