Complex structures

A significant amount of structural solutions used in Architectural and Civil Engineering fields can present a complex configuration, especially when any of the below is present:

Joints
Soil-structure interaction, or structure-structure interaction
Complex geometries or irregular configurations
Dampers or energy dissipators
New materials (FRCs, FRPs, SMAs, …)

In these cases, the simplifications usually adopted in structural calculations for common design purposes can lead to results significantly different from the actual structural response.

Iktes offers its experience and knowledge in the behavior of complex structures, and in the definition of adequate techniques to simulate the particularities of every problem in order to:

Adequately know the structural response and its most influential parameters
Detect the most demanded and vulnerable structural elements
Design optimized solutions according to the real response
Study the application of new materials and technologies [fiber reinforced concrete, textiles, dampers & disipators, …]
