ASI took part in the 3rd International Conference on Recent Advances in Nonlinear Design, Resilience and Rehabilitation of Structures, CoRASS2019, held in Coimbra, Portugal, from the 16th to the 18th of October, 2019. ASI’s work focuses on the application of...
The Morandi Bridge, designed by Prof. R. Morandi, was built in the 1960s. It was one of Italy’s most important bridges with pre-stressed concrete stays. The bridge collapsed on August 14, 2018, causing 43 deaths. ASI performed a structural analysis using the Applied...

This paper investigates the used of the alternate path method in studying the design of structures to resist progressive collapse using Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) and its Applied Element Method (AEM) based solver. Abstract: Although there are numerous...
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,...
The I-35 Bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota catastrophically failed during the evening rush hour on August 1, 2007, collapsing to the river and riverbanks beneath. In the years prior to the collapse, several reports cited problems with the...
Progressive collapse indicates the partial or total collapse of structures caused by the local damage of structural members arising from an abnormal load. To induce ideal collapse behavior, the progressive collapse is applied to most explosive demolition design for...
