Examples of construction project analyses

At our company, we specialize in providing comprehensive analyses of construction projects to ensure the highest quality and safety of ongoing investments. Our experience and advanced analytical tools allow us to accurately assess various aspects of projects, such as structural stability, material strength and cost effectiveness. One of the key tools we use is FEA (Finite Element Methods) Analysis, which enables accurate simulations and modeling of complex engineering problems.

 

What is FEA analysis?

FEA (Finite Element Method) analysis is a numerical technique used to solve engineering problems by dividing an object into small, rectangular (or three-dimensional) elements. Each of these elements is analyzed separately, and the results are then combined to provide a comprehensive picture of the behavior of the entire object.

How does FEA analysis work?

  • geometric modeling - the process begins with the creation of an accurate geometric model of the object in specialized software; this model captures all relevant structural features of the object;
  • partitioning into elements - the geometric model is divided into small finite elements. Each element is mathematically described and has its own physical properties, such as materials and dimensions;
  • defining boundary conditions and loads - boundary conditions, such as supports, and loads acting on the object, such as forces, pressures or temperatures, are defined;
  • solving equations - the software performs calculations by solving a system of mathematical equations that describe the behavior of elements in response to loads and boundary conditions;
  • analyzing the results - the results of the analysis are analyzed and interpreted to assess how the object responds to different loads, what the maximum stresses are, what the displacements are, whether there are critical points.

 

Structural stability analysis

Structural stability is a fundamental element of any construction project. Using FEA Analysis, we are able to accurately predict how a building structure will behave under various loads, such as dead weight, wind forces, and seismic activity. The structural stability analysis process includes:

  • three-dimensional modeling of the building structure,
  • simulation of loads and their effects on the structure,
  • identification of potential critical points and weak spots.

Proposals for structural reinforcements and modifications

As a result, our analyses allow investors and contractors to make informed decisions that minimize the risk of failure and increase occupant safety.

 

Optimizing construction costs 

Cost efficiency is another important aspect of construction projects that can significantly affect the financial success of an investment. Thanks to advanced FEA Analysis, we can not only assess the strength of materials, but also optimize the construction process from a cost perspective. Our analyses allow us to:

  • selecting the most suitable and economical materials,
  • optimization of the amount of raw materials needed,
  • reduce unnecessary expenses related to excessive safeguards,
  • shorten the time of project execution through efficient planning of construction stages.
