Blast Prediction
Blast loads are highly dynamic events that occur over milliseconds; much faster than other dynamic building loads such as wind or seismic events. Our structural engineers specialize in designing structural components and…
Injury Prediction
The main goal for antiterrorism design is to minimize injuries and to eliminate building occupant fatalities. Blast-related injuries most commonly result from failed building façade components, such as windows, while blast-related fatalities…
Component & System Level Analysis
Buildings and structures are comprised of many different components and systems. Blast damage can often be estimated on a component basis, rather than as a system level assessment. The design of protective…
High Performance Modeling & Simulation
There are many interesting and complex problems which are not able to be solved directly by closed form mechanics or design equations or approaches, and physical testing can be cost prohibitive. This…
Test Facilities
Numerical analysis and subscale testing can move us well along in the understanding of complex dynamic and inelastic/nonlinear behavior of materials. But often the best calibration of a series of numerical ‘tests’…
Resource Documents
We use and apply a number of criteria and reference documents on a daily basis. In the course of our work for you, we will make you aware of pertinent documents, sections and changes/updates to those documents. We have developed several of these documents; many have been developed and maintained by colleagues in government or at other firms. You’ll find links to many of these provided below. Please contact us regarding other information that you may require as it pertains to your project or pursuit.
