Abstract: The debris field of earthquake-induced building collapse can block or reduce the capacity of adjacent sidewalks and roads, hinder emergency and evacuation operations, and therefore adversely influence the seismic resilience of a community. To consider the...
ASI's paper on the progressive collapse of the Polcevera Viaduct Bridge in Genoa, Italy will be available free for the next 50 days from Engineering Structures. ASI Engineers modeled up the bridge and simulated the collapse using its Extreme Loading for Structures...
Ahmed Khalil, P.E, Ph.D from ASI and Tarek Kewaisy, P.E., Ph.D. from Louis Berger will be co-presenting a paper titled “Advanced Modeling of Blast Response of Reinforced Concrete Slabs with and without FRP Retrofit” on March 26 2018 at ACI Concrete...
Visit ASI Engineers as they present on the proposal of a new methodology to design against disproportionate collapse for critical buildings that must be operational after a terrorist attack. The disproportionate collapse analysis uses the alternate path method where...
Visit ASI Engineers as they present on Alternative Load Path Analysis (ALPA), which is becoming the most common technique for performance based design of structures to resist disproportionate collapse. This has coincided with an increased ability of high fidelity...
Visit ASI Engineers as they present on the three-dimensional nonlinear dynamic analysis they performed on a single well observation platform. The structure consists of a single level service deck supported by three driven piles and a bracing frame. Extreme Loading®...
This paper was presented at the 16th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (16WCEE) in Santiago, Chile, January 9th-13th, 2017. The paper is a result of research into the use of Extreme Loading for Structures in seismic assessment and retrofitting historic...
Are you attending the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (16WCEE) in Chile January 9th-13th, 2017. Learn more about how you can use Extreme Loading for Structures for the performance based design of structures against seismic, blast, high wind, impact, and...
