I have served in deferent capacities ranging from, detailed analysis of existing bridges, buildings, and utility lines, design of structural components, and geo-mechanical modeling of staged excavations.
Structural and Geo-Mechanical Numerical Analysis
Advanced readily available Finite Element Analysis (FEA) programs provide the opportunity to achieve a more realistic stress-deformation results through using a better representative soil constitutive models, more realistic soil-structure interaction, and accurate construction stage analysis.
Construction Impact Assessment
Construction impact assessment is performed to evaluate the expected damage level in structures in close vicinity of construction sites. Proper mitigation measures need to be provided to prevent significant damage.
Support of Excavation Analysis and Design
Excavation support systems are temporary earth retaining structures that allow the sides of excavation to be cut vertical or near vertical. They are used to minimize the excavation area, to keep the sides of deep excavations stable, and to ensure that movements will not cause damage to neighboring structures or to utilities in the surrounding ground.
