Terminal 3 at Beijing Capital International Airport

Linear static analysis with FEM | Reaction review using node local axes

Terminal 3 at Beijing Capital International Airport was completed as a gateway to the city ahead of the
2008 Olympics. Its large curved roof and wide column-free spaces make it a representative long-span
spatial structure.
The aerodynamic roof, inspired by the speed of flight and the form of a dragon, creates strong
architectural identity while posing complex structural challenges. Load paths, support reactions, and
member connection conditions all need to be interpreted with precision.
This project used FEM-based linear static analysis and reaction review with node local axes to
understand force flow and connection behavior in a complex spatial system.

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)

Fiber-reinforced concrete analysis | Linear dynamic analysis with response spectrum

Dongdaemun Design Plaza is a cultural complex located in the heart of Dongdaemun, Seoul. Its flowing
curved envelope and irregular spatial composition make it a landmark example of free-form structural
design. Exhibition halls, conference rooms, and design museum spaces are arranged within one
continuous form, requiring a clear understanding of how the structural system interacts with the
architectural space. This project modeled complex curved geometry and structural frames, then used
response-spectrum-based dynamic analysis to review the behavior of the irregular structure.

San Lorenzo

Material nonlinear analysis for masonry | Static and dynamic analysis for seismic safety verification

San Lorenzo is a case study on seismic safety verification for an existing masonry building. The building
has a floor area of about 1,600 m², three above-ground levels, and a height of about 13 m, making it a
substantial masonry structure. Compared with reinforced concrete or steel structures, masonry has
limited material continuity and connection capacity. Under seismic loads, cracking, local damage, and
stiffness degradation can occur in complex ways. This project analyzed natural frequencies and
principal vibration characteristics, then compared measured data with FEM results to review the
correlation between real structural behavior and the analytical model.

Gas Pipeline with Venturi Support Tower

Static and dynamic analysis with FEM | Mesh generation using MIDAS FX+

This project reviewed the stress behavior of a plant structure that includes a gas purification line and
Venturi support tower. In facilities where pipelines and support structures work together, pipe self-
weight, operational vibration, connection stresses, and support reactions can act in combination.
Using MIDAS FX+ for mesh generation, the project applied FEM-based static and dynamic analysis to
review the structural behavior and stress distribution of the existing support tower and new steel
components.

City Center and Hard Rock Hotel

DXF import for irregular model generation | Construction stage analysis | Time-history analysis for walking vibration

City Center & Hard Rock Hotel is a large mixed-use complex that combines entertainment, hospitality,
and dining programs. Hotel towers, podium levels, and irregular spaces are integrated into one project,
creating different structural systems and load paths across each zone. This project generated irregular
analytical models from CAD data and used construction stage analysis and linear time-history analysis
to review construction-phase behavior and dynamic response related to walking vibration.

Shanghai Center Building

Construction stage analysis with creep and shrinkage | Response-spectrum analysis | Equivalent wind load simulation

Shanghai Center Building is a large mixed-use high-rise complex with a total floor area of about
380,000 m². It includes offices, retail, a luxury hotel, and a 2,200-seat hall.
The tower has a triangular form that twists about 120 degrees from base to top. Its structural system
consists of a concrete core, outriggers, and super columns.
This project used construction stage analysis considering creep and shrinkage, response-spectrum
dynamic analysis, and equivalent wind load simulation to review long-term deformation and lateral
resistance in a supertall structure.
