At Simplex Engineering, we offer advanced structural analysis services for complex projects. Our expertise ensures that structures meet modern safety and performance standards. We work on traditional structures, modular designs, and retrofitting existing buildings. Our services give you critical insights into your project’s stability, efficiency, and compliance with industry standards.
Advanced Structural Analysis Techniques
We apply nonlinear analysis, finite element modelling (FEM), and incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). These methods help us assess structural performance under various conditions, such as wind loads, seismic forces, and dynamic stress. Consequently, we ensure that your structure remains both safe and resilient.
Example Projects
- Assessment of Interface Stresses in Composite Hollowcore Slab: Our team modelled the nonlinear behaviour of concrete during key construction stages, including prestressing and live load application.
Composite Hollowcore Slab
- Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA): Applied to several projects, this technique evaluates seismic performance for steel and concrete structures. It helps identify potential failure modes and refine designs for improved structural resilience.
- Specialized Steel Connections: We used finite element modelling to capture geometric and material nonlinearity. This approach provided crucial insights for improving the design of steel connections.
- Nonlinear Buckling Analysis of Elevated Water Tanks: Our analysis incorporated geometric non-linearities based on 3D scans. This ensured the structural integrity of the tanks.
Adherence to Industry Standards
We follow recognized standards such as the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and CSA Group. Our team ensures that all structural analysis projects comply with modern engineering standards.
