Analysis model
We develop a three-dimensional finite-element model of structures, bracing, supports and interacting elements.
07 / SERVICE
Structural analysis of load-bearing structures
We build analysis models and verify structural performance for new construction, reconstruction, load changes and identified defects.
Scope of work
An analysis model must represent the actual behaviour of the facility, not merely the geometry shown on drawings. We account for support conditions, joint stiffness, material properties, loading sequence and load combinations.
Loads and combinations
We consider permanent, imposed, snow, wind, process and, where required, seismic actions.
Verification
We analyse forces, stresses, displacements, strength and stability of individual members and the system as a whole.
Solution development
We size members or reinforcement, assess strengthening options and verify design solutions by calculation.
Facilities and applications
Steel and reinforced-concrete frames, roofs, floors, foundations, equipment support structures, pipe racks and individual components of industrial facilities.
