Structural Engineering in Merced, CA

A fast-growing Central Valley city anchored by UC Merced and one of the state's richest agricultural belts, Merced is a logistics and food-processing hub on the Highway 99 corridor. Extreme summer heat, winter tule fog, and San Joaquin Valley air-quality rules shape building design, with moderate seismicity from the Coast Ranges.
