Description
Extreme loading for structures or ELS of International Applied Sciences or ASI is software for analyzing and predicting the behavior of structures faced with extreme loads. With the help of this program, structural engineers can check the state of collapse and the level of resistance of different parts of the structure to the imposed pressures. The program shows the changes that have occurred and how the individual parts collapse in graphic, three-dimensional form. In this program it is possible to test and evaluate different types of progressive static or dynamic loads on different areas of the structure. For example, it is possible to introduce instantaneous and discrete loads such as explosions, earthquakes, building settlements, winds and storms. . , etc., and check the behavior of the structure in relation to these irregularities.
Unlike many structural analysis software programs that work based on the finite element method, this program uses a nonlinear and more precise solution called AEM or Applied Element Method. This method allows the software to automatically evaluate the behavior of the structure in the face of elastic and inelastic stresses. In this case, it is possible to check the extent of vibrations of the reinforcements, the extent of buckling of columns, shear walls, the state of the structure after buckling, the method and direction of propagation of cracks and the pi-delta effects, etc. .
Pi-Delta effects generally exert additional force on other floors due to the eccentricity of the gravitational loads of the upper floors. Not only can you see these effects in this program graphically and with relatively precise numbers, but it is also possible to track the magnitude of changes in this factor. Observing the changes that occur as well as how to separate the components of the structure can have valuable results. Based on this information, we can identify weak points in the structure and increase its final strength.
