Our analysis tools are useful to get an idea what happens to a structure in the event of an earthquake or other risk factor. By downloading our software "Showtime" you will be able to view some of our animations to get an idea what is involved.

These files can be viewed with Showtime and are the 'output' of a series of calculations. That results in an animated version of what affect certain forces will have on the structure being analysed, enabling our engineers to better understand, and design for, optimum performance.

Our engineers often share what they've learned through journal articles, presentations and by teaching. Here are some interesting examples of their work.

Our Design Guides have proven to be very popular over the years.
