Code_Aster®
3D joint elements and procedures for integration to large 3D meshes (NECS R&D, and contribution to Code_Aster Libre)
Code_Aster®
Concrete parabola-rectangle constitutive relation from the French standards BAEL to take into account concrete cracking. Implementation and adaptation to cyclic issues.
High performance concrete (BFUP) elements – Code_Aster®
Tool allowing to carry out preliminary studies of 2D and 3D items in reinforced concrete made of BFUP (high performance fiber-reinforced concrete)
Reinforced concrete slab calculation (Calcul de Dalles en Béton Armé : CaDaBA)
Tool developped on behalf of Séchaud & Metz company, allowing to carry out fast studies of non linear behaviour of reinforced concrete slabs and walls.
Study under various concomitant actions
In order to assist the SCHÖCK company in getting the renewal of its technical certification for thermal breakers, NECS’ mission was to verify the mechanical resistance of the breakers under various concomitant actions.
Assessment of the resistance of the post tensionned precast slabs
Expertise of the behaviour of a slab exposed to fire with the mean of numerical calculations, estimate of compression failure processes in the slab, assessment of the influence of continuity and support restraints, and of geometrical 2nd order effects.
Diaphragm-wall quay – London Gateway Port
Finite element modelling and non linear analysis, computation and examination of material stress mappings, assessment of resistance margins of the reinforced concrete diapghram-wall to ultimate limit state, assessment of the effects of steel corrosion on the structure behaviour, conclusion on the harmfulness level of the defects.
Swimming pool of the “Black Pearl” chalet – Courchevel 1850, France
Non linear calculations in order to specify the origin of the damage, linear calculations to establish reinforcement mappings and estimate the lack of reinforcement, retrofitting solution and final check calculation
130 LS building NYC (World Trade Centre, 9/11) following fire in the basement
Expertise of the cracking of the raft foundation of the building following fire in the basement. Analysis of the expert reports and finite element calculations in order to find out the causes of damage in the structure. Study of thermal propagation following fire in the fuel tank.
