Nabih Youssef, S.E., F.A.S.C.E is an Egyptian-American structural engineer, most recognized for his work in earthquake engineering.
In 1967, Youssef received a B.S. in Structural Engineering from Cairo University. After emigrating to the United States he received a M.S. from C.S.U.-L.A. and then a postgraduate Diploma in Earthquake Engineering from U.C.L.A..
Youssef lead the engineering division at A.C. Martin Partners before founding his own firm, Nabih Youssef & Associates (NYA), in 1989.
The 56-story L.A. Live! Tower is currently under construction in downtown Los Angeles. It uses an advanced steel plate shear wall system to resist lateral loads and is the first building in Los Angeles to so.
Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels used base isolation to achieve a structure that would last 500 years.
