Ahmed Khalil, Ph.D., P.E. will be presenting a paper entitled, ” Nonlinear Dynamic Alternative Load Path Analysis of 10-story Concrete Shear Wall Flat Plate Building”, at Structures Congress 2019, Saturday, April 27th from 8:00 – 9:30 AM in the...
Why use seismic ground vibration analysis? Strategically collapsing and imploding buildings may seem a straightforward operation—place explosives at a certain distance and stand clear—but when you consider the logistics, it becomes a bit more complex....
Today we are releasing the newest version of our Cold Formed Steel (CFS) software. For the better part of the last 20 years, we’ve had a team working every day to develop SteelSmart System (SSS) and make it better. We get feedback from the market on a weekly...
It’s time to take dust control seriously by leaving dated technology and inefficient dust control analysis methods behind. Dust control upon building implosion is essential in maintaining healthy air quality, following government regulations, and supporting the...
On 14 August 2018 at 11:35 AM, a relevant portion (about 243 m) of the viaduct over the Polcevera river in Genoa collapsed, killing 43 people. The bridge was designed in the early 1960s by Riccardo Morandi, a well-known Italian engineer, and opened to the public in...
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,...
