Finite
Element
Parker, Messana & Associates has the capability to model small to
large structures for wind, earthquake and altered gravity loads. Modeling existing structures
allows owners of these buildings to determining where the supports need to
be modified to handle new process equipment. We utilize the RISA-3D©
structural analysis and modeling software which is the latest in software
technology to assist our structural engineers in doing these complex
calculations. This showcase project provided detailed analysis of
over 1400 structural steel framing members and 1700 concrete floor
elements. Imagine if you had to do these calculations by hand as they
were originally done when this fourteen story building was designed
thirty years ago!
Call Parker, Messana & Associates today for information on how
we can help you with your existing building models if you are adding process
equipment to an existing structure.
