Support Hinge Assemblies for the Gateshead Millennium Bridge: The Gateshead Millennium Bridge, designed by consulting engineers Gifford and Partners with Wilkinson Eyre, is an eye-catching, steel, opening bridge that spans 105m across the River Tyne. When closed, small river craft can sail beneath the bridge but, for larger vessels, the cable-stayed double arched structure pivots at the abutments...; Tags: LUSAS, consulting, cable; Case studies
Stress and Thermal Analysis of the Muela Dam, Lesotho: LUSAS civil & structural analysis software has been used by consulting engineers Mott MacDonald in conjunction with FEA's consultancy services department to prove the stability and optimum curvature and profile of the 'Muela Dam, part of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project. The 55m high dam with a crest length of...; Tags: LUSAS, dam, consulting, analysis; Case studies
The Design and Analysis of "Quantum Cloud" - a Sculpture by Antony Gormley: "Quantum Cloud" is a 30 meter high x 16 meter wide x 10 meter deep elliptical cloud sculpture which stands on four cast iron caissons in the River Thames adjacent to the Millennium Dome in London. The engineering design team of Elliott Wood Partnership and FEA Ltd worked closely with...; Tags: LUSAS, Quantum Corp., fractal, vision, analysis, team, software; Case studies
The Sentinel' - A Spitfire Sculpture: "The Sentinel" is an award winning 16m high sculpture in Birmingham, UK, consisting of 3 half-scale aluminium Spitfires peeling-off in different directions and supported by curving steel "vapor trails". A LUSAS 3D beam model of the sculpture was created initially to determine a first estimate of the load effects, and...; Tags: LUSAS, CAD, 3D; Case studies
Modelling the Replacement of Degraded Concrete on the Terra Nitram Prill Tower: The Severnside prill tower is operated by Terra Nitrogen (UK) Ltd to manufacture ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Despite a history of regular maintenance and repair parts of the reinforced concrete structure have deteriorated over the years due to the severe operating environment and by 1998 significant structural repairs were required. Taylor...; Tags: LUSAS, project management, modeling, environment; Case studies
Staged Construction Analysis of a Concrete Shaft on the Dublin Port Tunnel Project: The Dublin Port Tunnel in Ireland runs from the M1 motorway at Santry to Dublin Port at East Wall. Its primary purpose is to provide good access to Dublin Port, as well as relieving traffic congestion in the city. To provide access for the tunnel boring machines (TBM) for this...; Tags: LUSAS, shaft, analysis, wall; Case studies
Core Wall Analysis of University College London Hospital: The design and construction of the new University College London Hospital is being undertaken by a joint venture comprising Amec Group, Balfour Beatty Construction and Haden Young.
