Leonardo Torres serves as a Principal Engineer at Karagozian & Case (K&C), where he leverages his extensive expertise in structural engineering to address complex challenges posed by dynamic loads. With a career at K&C that began in 2006, Mr. Torres has built a robust portfolio of projects that encompass the analysis, design, and testing of structures and mechanical components subjected to extreme conditions, including blast, impact, and seismic forces. His proficiency in finite element analysis (FEA) allows him to conduct detailed simulations that inform the design process, ensuring that structures not only meet safety standards but also perform optimally under stress.
Mr. Torres's role involves collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver innovative solutions for high-stakes projects, particularly in sectors such as defense, infrastructure, and commercial construction. His work often focuses on designing robust systems that can withstand the effects of explosive blasts and impacts, making him a key player in enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructure. As a licensed Civil Engineer in California and Nevada, as well as a licensed Structural Engineer in California, he brings a comprehensive understanding of local building codes and regulations, which is crucial for successful project execution.
Among his notable projects, Mr. Torres has contributed to the design of blast-resistant structures and has conducted seismic assessments that ensure compliance with stringent safety requirements. His expertise in SAP2000 and other engineering software further enhances his ability to model complex scenarios and provide accurate assessments. With a commitment to advancing structural integrity and safety, Leonardo Torres continues to be a driving force at K&C, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in structural engineering.
