We’re happy to announce the release of our Advanced Structural Analysis Software, Extreme Loading for Structures (ELS) Version 6.0! ELS is used by structural engineers and researchers around the world to study the effects of blast, progressive collapse, wind,...
Ahmed Khalil, Ph.D., P.E., M. ASCE will be presenting a paper entitled, “Nonlinear Dynamic Impact Analysis of Collapsed Debris Using Applied Element Method” at Structures Congress 2018 on Friday, April 20 from 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM in room 202B Abstract: Partial collapse...
Significant research effort has been devoted in recent years to the evaluation of the capacity of steel frame structures to resist progressive collapse after sudden column loss. Due to the complex load-structure interaction and material behaviour, it can be very...
Seismic assessment of existing heritage buildings remains a challenging task. There is a high level of complexity and uncertainty compared with the assessment of standard buildings. Heritage masonry churches are usually prone to partial collapses during earthquake due...
When subjected to blast loading, fragments ejected by concrete or masonry structures present a number of potential hazards. Airborne fragments pose a high risk of injury and secondary damage, with the resulting debris field causing major obstructions. The capability...
Present study aims on evaluating the seismic performances of existing Masonry Infilled Reinforced Concrete (MIRC) buildings commonly found in many South and Southeast Asian countries utilizing appropriate masonry properties in Applied Element Method (AEM) models....
The second INACHUS field test, held on May 31st 2017 in Lyon, France, demonstrated the project’s Wide Area Surveillance solutions and Collapse Modelling tools to an audience of more than 16 end users specialised in USAR operations and structural engineers from Sweden,...
With the continuous evolution of the numerical methods and the availability of advanced constitutive models, it became a common practice to use complex physical and geometrical nonlinear numerical analyses to estimate the structural behavior of reinforced concrete...
A new methodology to design against disproportionate collapse is proposed for critical building that must be operational after a terrorist attack. The disproportionate collapse analysis uses the alternate path method where the structure must be designed to support the...
Visit ASI Engineers as they present on the three-dimensional nonlinear dynamic analysis they performed on a single well observation platform. The structure consists of a single level service deck supported by three driven piles and a bracing frame. Extreme Loading®...
