Seismic Collapse Analysis

Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) software offers a new advanced level of nonlinear dynamic structural analysis, which allows users to efficiently study structural failure and retrofitting strategies in historic masonry structures from any number of possible extreme loading events including earthquake, blast, and progressive collapse.

The ideal tool for historic
structures

Extreme Loading for Structures Software is the ideal nonlinear dynamic structural analysis tool to study the behavior of cold-formed steel structures against seismic, wind, progressive collapse, and blast.

Blast Analysis

Extreme Loading® for Structures Software or ELS, is an advanced non-linear structural analysis software tool designed specifically for structural engineers. ELS allows structural engineers to study the 3D behavior of structures through both the continuum and discrete stages of loading. This includes static and dynamic loads such as those generated by a blast, seismic events, impact, progressive collapse, and the wind. Unlike many structural analysis software tools which are based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), ELS utilizes a non-linear solver based on the Applied Element Method (AEM).
 
This allows ELS is to automatically analyze structural behavior during elastic and inelastic modes including the automatic yielding of reinforcement, detection, and generation of plastic hinges, buckling & post-buckling, crack propagation, membrane action & P-Delta effect, and separation of elements. The resulting debris and impacts with structural elements are also automatically analyzed and stress redistribution is inherently calculated.
The Extreme Loading® Technology
Extreme Loading Technology is designed around the Applied Element Method (AEM) of analysis which is capable of performing linear and non-linear analysis that follows the behavior of structures through separation, collision, and collapse while automatically calculating:
  • Yielding of Reinforcement

  • Plastic Hinge Formation

  • Buckling & Post-buckling

  • Crack Propagation

  • Membrane Action & P-Delta

  • Separation of Elements

  • Collision and Collapse

Since AEM can automatically detect the initiation of cracks, track their progression throughout the structure, and simulate actual element separation, collision and final collapse, it removes a large amount of human error.  This produces a truer analysis of structural behavior than more manual methods of structural analysis. AEM was born at the University of Tokyo as part of Professor Hatem Tagel Din’s research studies on the analysis and visualization of structures subjected to the extreme loading conditions generated during an earthquake.  Since 1995 the research and validation of AEM has been an ongoing project, with many validation tests being conducted and research papers published certifying the breakthroughs achieved by the Applied Element Method.  Research has verified its accuracy for: elastic analysis; crack initiation and propagation; estimation of failure loads for reinforced concrete structures; reinforced concrete structures under cyclic loading; buckling and post-buckling behavior; nonlinear dynamic analysis of structures subjected to severe earthquakes; fault-rupture propagation; nonlinear behavior of brick structures; and the analysis of glass reinforced polymers (GFRP) walls under blast loads.
