This paper investigates the pounding different structural systems during earthquakes and their effects on adjacent buildings. Non-linear dynamic analysis is performed using Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) to study the behavior including base shear, bending...
Practical Engineering Tools – Performance Based Results For Structural Engineers, it truly is What’s on the Inside that Counts! Ensuring that the internal components of the structure is sufficient meet requirements for building code, occupancy, risk,...
This paper studies the performance based vulnerability assessment of midrise masonry structures against seismic activity using Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS). Abstract: A thorough four-step performance-based seismic evaluation for a six-story unreinforced...
ASI recently published a new white paper that shows how using its proprietary Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) software can save designers a significant amount in the weight of the structural system. Read the performance-based design white paper, UFC Progressive...
Applied Science International, LLC announced the launch of Extreme Loading for Structures Version 3.0. Extreme Loading® for Structures Software (ELS®) is based on the Applied Element Method (AEM) of analysis, the only method of analysis that automatically calculates...
