Seismic Analysis for Historic Structures

Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) software offers a new advanced level of nonlinear dynamic structural analysis, which allows users to efficiently study structural failure and retrofitting strategies in historic masonry structures from any number of possible extreme loading events including earthquake, blast, and progressive collapse.

Seismic Collapse Analysis

Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) offers a new advanced level of nonlinear dynamic structural analysis, which allows users to efficiently study structural failure and retrofitting strategies in any type of existing structures from any number of possible extreme loading events including earthquake.

Column Shortening

Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) allows users to analyze and predict the boundaries of long term behavior, the relative axial stiffness and the tributary area of columns and walls, and apply the optimum distribution of additional reinforcement to reduce differential column shortening in reinforced concrete high-rise buildings.

True Brick & Mortar

Unlike traditional FEM software, with Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS), users can easily model masonry structures with all as-built and as-damaged details, including both brick and mortar as separate materials.

Easily Design Steel Framing

SteelSmart® System (SSS) design modules include Wall Bridging/Lateral Bracing, Vertical Deflection, Seismic Drift, Headers and Sills, Hold-Downs, Moment-Resisting, Shear Wall Anchors, Floor and Roof Joists, & Roof Trusses

Progressive Collapse

Progressive collapse (aka: Disproportionate Collapse) occurs when a local failure spreads throughout a structure from element to element, eventually resulting in the collapse of either the entire structure or a disproportionately large part of it. Progressive collapse is caused by an abnormal or extreme loading event, typically due to accidental impact, faulty construction, foundational failure, or violent changes in air pressure (ie: Blast).

Optimize Blast Design for UFC

Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) offers a new advanced level of nonlinear static or dynamic structural analysis to study the behavior of structures during blast and other extreme loading events.

Combat Corrosion

Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) allows users to easily model corrosion over time and evaluate retrofitting before it reaches the field, balancing safety and cost, minimizing risk.

Demolition Analysis & Planning

As construction methods and materials have grown increasingly complex over the years, so has the need for new and more accurate methods to plan, analyze, and demolish such structures.

Utilizing its Extreme Loading® Technology, ASI Structural Engineers are able model and analyze demolition scenarios in full 3D, allowing demolition planners to better design safer and more efficient demolition.

Demolition plans including induced collapse which employ the use of explosives, wrecking ball, high reach excavator, pushing or pulling force, or manual deconstruction can be evaluated.

Forensic Engineering Services

Using its Extreme Loading Technology or ELT, ASI can analyze failure scenarios more accurately, in a shorter amount of time, and with more detail than conventional structural analysis methods.

In addition, results from ELT structural analysis can effectively display and communicate technical events through 3D video of the scenario to both technical and non-technical audiences as an expert witness.

Extreme Loading® for Structures

Extreme Loading® for Structures Software or ELS, is an advanced non-linear dynamic structural analysis software tool designed with the practicing structural engineer in mind.

ELS allows structural engineers to study the 3D behavior of structures through both the continuum and discrete stages of loading. This includes static and dynamic loads such as those generated by blast, seismic events, impact, progressive collapse, and wind.
