SIXENSE Necs as new SOFiSTiK Sales Partner in France

Starting on March 2017, SIXENSE Necs is an official reseller of SOFiSTiK FEA, CAD and BIM product line on the french market.

Detailed pre-project studies

Extension of the fuel building (BK) at the site of Bugey

Check of the feasibility of the proposed design for the BK building extension, with seismic justification of the building and its extension at higher levels of earthquake than those chosen for the initial design.

Project management (preliminary outline, project design, tender documents)

Design of a room with a blowhole panel

Reinforced concrete structure with 29mx 12m dimensions at ground level, and 11m of height, made of a large blast-proof door on one side and a blowhole panel on the other side.

Design against blast load

Design of a propane tanks storage facility

Pressure calculations according to the UFC 3-340-02 methodology and design of the reinforced concrete strucure made of 4 storage cells

Expertise - Risks of external blast

Pôle Fiduciaire Francilien of Banque de France

Expertise of the structures conception and design regarding external blast risks

Design of precast panels for individual housing

Ductal/Termédia precast panels (LAFARGE)

Design studies for panels intended to individual housing construction. These panels are made of a shell of Ductal concrete mechanically connected to a Thermedia understructre. The study mainly focused on the design and the optimisation of the process taking into account the structural characteristics of the external Ductal shell as a bracing element under seismic and wind loads.

Design - Blast loadings

PRIMEVERE project (EADS Astrium)

Design of 4 buildings to internal blasts

Earthquake design

Oman cultural center

Earthquake design

Base isolation design

Hospital of Martinique - Fort-de-France (FREYSSINET)

Design (preliminary studies) of the base isolation system (elastomer + damper) - Non linear time history dynamic analysis (non linear behaviour of the dampers)

Base isolation design of a standard EPR

Adjusting the design to site conditions in Italy (EDF)

Design of the base isolation and base slab system - Modal spectral, static non linear (push over), and non linear time history dynamic analysis (HDRB bearings)

Design studies of vibration and slow strain sensitive structures

Golden Slab of the ESRF synchrotron - EX2 project (particle accelerator)

Design studies of test slabs. Preliminary assessment of the technical solutions for the foundations, monitoring of the structure behaviour during construction, and validation by in situ measures. Stability of the slab to thermal variations, concrete shrinkage, dynamic loads applied on the slabs. Organisation of data collection programs, and validation of numeric modelling.

Feasability and preliminary studies for Centre Culturel et Touristique du Vin

Wine museum (Bordeaux, France)

Technical assistance for the structural design of the building regarding seismic calculations.

Structural studies under blast

Experimental facility, international collaboration (Valduc, France)

Study of a structure under severe blast loadings, design of the reinforced concrete walls and slabs according to UFC 3-340-02, structural check by finite element modelling and dynamic analysis.
