Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) under Earthquake Excitation

SSI refers to the mutual response between a structure and its supporting soil during seismic events. Accurate modeling of this interaction is essential for predicting structural behavior and ensuring seismic safety. It plays a vital role in designing resilient infrastructure in earthquake-prone regions.

Concrete Materials

Concrete materials form the backbone of modern construction due to their strength, durability, and versatility. Advancements in mix design and additives have enhanced performance and sustainability. They are critical for infrastructure development across all sectors.

Non-Linear Structural Analysis (Large Deflection Problems)

Non-linear structural analysis accounts for geometric and material nonlinearity in structures subjected to large deflections. It provides more accurate predictions of behavior under extreme loading conditions. This analysis is crucial for ensuring safety and performance in complex structural systems.

Finite Element Analysis (FEM)

Finite Element Analysis is a numerical method used to solve complex structural, thermal, and fluid problems by dividing systems into smaller, manageable elements. It enhances precision in engineering design and analysis. FEM is widely applied across industries for optimizing performance and ensuring structural integrity.

Analysis and Design of RCC and Steel Structure

This involves evaluating and developing reinforced concrete (RCC) and steel structures to ensure safety, strength, and serviceability. It combines structural analysis with code-based design principles. The process is essential for reliable infrastructure in residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
