Terminal 3 at Beijing Capital International Airport

Linear static analysis with finite elements / Node local axis for reaction in local direction
/ Beam end release for pinned connection

Completed as the gateway to the city for the twenty-ninth Olympiad in 2008, Beijing’sinternational terminal is the world’s largest
and most advanced airport building not only technologically but also in terms of passenger experience, operational efficiency
andsustainability. Designed to be welcoming and uplifting, it is also a symbol of place and its soaring aerodynamic roof and
dragon-like form celebrating the thrill and poetry of flight and evoking traditional Chinese colors and symbols.

Process to Knowledge base Modeling FEM

3D 5million elements solid model / Dynamic behavior of the mammoth in the Spanish fortress

The study of the metallic supporting frame of the mammoth is particularly for its structuralstability.
It’s located in a seismic prone area and has survived from the very strong L’Aquilaearthquake in 2009.

Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP)

Fibre reinforced concrete analysis / Linear dynamic analysis with response spectrum

The DDP has been designed as a cultural hub at the center of Dongdaemun, a historic district ofSeoul that is now renowned for
24-hour shopping and cafes. DDP is a place for people of all agesas a catalyst for the instigation and exchange of ideas and for
new technologies and media tobe explored. The variety of public spaces within DDP includes art/exhibition halls, conference
hall,design museum/exhibition hall/pathway and ect. Like this, DDP is enable to present the widestdiversity of exhibitions and
events that feed the cultural vitality of the city.

San Lorenzo

Plastic analysis with masonry material properties / Finite element model for seismic safety verification of masonry building

Overall, it has a 1,600㎡ plant area, spreads over three levels above ground and has a total of about 13m height.
The total volume is approximately 20,000m³. - Determine the natural frequency of vibration of the construction site.
- Determine the natural frequency of vibration of the building in its main direction.- Check the phenomenon of double resonance
of the brick-resistance structure.- Compare the results between obtained from vibration frequency and those from the FEM
model and give an assessment of the mechanical model validation.

Gas Pipeline with Venturi Support Tower

Static and dynamic analysis with finite elements- Mesh generation using MIDAS FX+

In this project, stress analysis of the gas purification line with integrated static and dynamiccalculation of the new metallic
structures of the existing venturi support towers are performed.

City Center and Hard Rock Hotel

DFX import for irregular model generation / Construction stage analysis / Linear time history analysis for walk vibration

City Center & Hard Rock Hotel is designed as a modern mixed-use cultural space, offering a variety of entertainment, accommodation, and dining experiences.

Shanghai Center Building

Construction stage analysis with creep and shrinkage / Linear dynamic analysis with response spectrum
/ Equivalent wind load simulation

The mixed-use development comprises 380,000㎡ and includes Class A office space, retail, a luxury hotel, 2,200-seat arena,
and connections to the Shanghai Metro and three floors of below-grade parking. It also features the world’s highest non-enclosed
observation deck. The tower features a twisting triangular form with a façade that curves 120 degrees from its base.
Its structural system consists of a 90-by-90-foot concrete core connected to a system of outriggersand super columns
supported on 1,079 concrete and steel bore piles driven deep into ground.
