Experience
Since joining WJE as a structural engineer in 2002, Jaret Lynch's project experience has included facade condition assessments of historic buildings and churches, structural analysis and repair design, and testing of masonry, curtain walls, and windows. He has also performed facade condition assessments using industrial rope access techniques.
During his graduate studies, Mr. Lynch served as a research assistant, contributing to the Mid-America Earthquake Center project ST-6 funded by the National Science Foundation. This research included the testing of full-scale unreinforced masonry piers under seismic loading. Mr. Lynch also led his school's American Institute of Steel Construction/ American Society of Civil Engineers steel bridge teams to the national competition level.
