ASI has the capability to perform seismic analysis of structures using its Applied Element Method (AEM) based Extreme Loading^® Technology. In the case of extended structures, like long bridges, the effects of sundry input excitations at different piers can be easily considered. Effects of an earthquake on elements attached to structures such as power, gas and water lines can be studied by applying floor displacement as input excitation to such pipelines. Effects of earthquakes on furniture inside buildings, hanging and suspended objects, stacked barrels, and so forth can also be studied. Furthermore, unique material behavior or special dampers can  be taken into consideration as well.
 
Seismic Analysis Services Include:

• Creating a 3D model for the “as-designed” structure based on the available design drawings.
• Performing nonlinear static and dynamic analyses of the structure under the effect of the required cases of loading including seismic and wind loading.
• Comparing the behavior of the “as-designed” structure with the “as-built” structure.
• Checking stresses in all structural components.
• Making recommendations for retrofit to prevent progressive collapse due to seismic activity.
