ACCURATE and SAFE

Structural analysis is the key to unlocking the full potential of your civil engineering structures. By determining the forces at play under various types of loading, including dead, live, wind, snow, and seismic loads, we can help you design components that are both safe and cost-effective. Using advanced finite element analysis techniques, we take on the complex task of structural analysis, enabling you to confidently create structures that meet all safety requirements while maximizing cost savings. We will do the hard work of structural analysis using FEM so you can design safe and cost-efficient structures.

Stress analysis is a critical aspect of finite element analysis that is concerned with the evaluation of the stress state of a component or system under specified loads. This broad category of problems is prevalent in the field of civil engineering and encompasses a wide range of structural components. The ultimate goal of stress analysis is to determine the suitability of a component to withstand applied stresses, ensuring that it is robust enough to meet the required performance criteria.

In a range of structural and mechanical situations, components may be subjected to combined thermal-mechanical effects. One such scenario is the occurrence of a fire in a building, which can alter the material resistance of structural elements, leading to a shift in the load-resistance equilibrium. The Eurocode has established guidelines for the analysis and design of structural components to ensure safety and cost-efficiency in the context of structural fire design. We are equipped to assist you with structural fire design in accordance with these standard regulations using FEA and available regulations.

Dynamic analysis is a vital tool in the resolution of problems featuring time-varying loads and effects. This type of analysis may be necessary in situations such as the assessment of fluctuating structural forces over time in a building experiencing seismic ground shaking. Similarly, crashworthiness tests of vehicles against walls involve the application of high impulsive pressures over a short period of time, rendering them dynamic events. The non-linearities inherent in dynamic analyses necessitate extensive computational efforts using finite element analysis.
