Case Studies: FEA Seismic Analysis and Design |
Seismic assessment in research facility
FEA & Design Improvement Case Study We were asked by our client to perform a seismic assessment of a door for a biological laboratory in New Zealand. The primary purpose of the door was to act as an airtight seal between the 'clean-room' environment and the rest of the research facility. Because of the likelihood of earthquakes in such a seismically active part of the world, it [...]
Seismic Analysis of Power Resistor Bank for Cressall Resistors Ltd
Earthquake shock waves radiate from the fault fracture zone and arrive https://makeanimpactcic.co.uk/ciprofloxacin-order/ at the earth’s surface as a complex broadband vibratory ground motion, having both horizontal and vertical components. The response of structures to earthquake ground motion depends on their strength, ductility and dynamic properties. Lightly damped structures having one or more natural modes of oscillation within the frequency band of ground excitation can experience considerable amplification of [...]
Altoona Seismic Damper
DC White have been involved in seismic design of safety-critical structures for more than 25 years. To this end we have designed, developed and are in the process of producing a range of structural dampers, the Altoona DamperTM, which uses simple proven techniques to provide isolation and greatly increase damping of a structure - but only at the time of a seismic event. Simple yet Uniquely Effective [...]
Seismic analysis of Control Cabinets
Seismic Design Service Case Study DC White offer extensive experience of seismic design – we understand the implications of design features with respect to seismic activity: we are very familiar with the known pitfalls and we can therefore bring our depth of knowledge to bear on a standard design. Seismic Design Service Case Study DC White offer extensive experience of seismic design [...]
Seismic Test – Tobacco Drying
Seismic Substantiation Service Case Study DC White had successfully carried out numerous seismic substantiations. A tobacco dryer support structure we had designed and substantiated suffered an 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile, just two months after it had been constructed. For about three minutes the 3 storey industrial dryer structure was subjected to the fifth strongest earthquake seen on records. The tobacco drier survived both the initial earthquake [...]
