ASI will be attending the 2019 Structure Congress in Orlando, FL from April 24-27, 2019. ASI sessions this year focus on the Protective Design for Structures and industrial facilities. Below are the Sessions that ASI is participating in. ASI Engineers will also be...
In this article, we take a look at blast analysis with a focus on SBEDS (Single Degree of Freedom Blast Effect Design Spreadsheet) vs ELS (Extreme Loading for Structures). Our goal is to explain why ELS should be considered over SBEDS for blast analysis. Firstly,...
For a limited time only, several Progressive Collapse papers published in Engineering Structures Journal, which discuss the use of Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) nonlinear dynamic structural analysis software to analyze structures and design to...
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,...
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...
Come visit us at this year's Structures Congress in Denver, Colorado. We have staff presenting on topics using our Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) in the following sessions: Ship Impact & Nonlinear Dynamic Collapse Analysis of a Single Well Observation...
nreinforced masonry (URM) structures have shown to be susceptible to significant damage during strong earthquakes. Vulnerability assessment of URM buildings is needed so that appropriate mitigation strategies can be implemented. The existing Canadian practice consists of rapid seismic screening of buildings to assign priorities for further and more refined assessments, followed by refined analysis of […]
