Specialised structures

Various structures have been assessed to unique structure-specific requirements, including:

• Assessment of the stability of a dam wall, considering the non-linear response (using finite element analysis) of the supporting geology
• Finite element analysis and assessment of a water tower under seismic loading, including fluid-structure interaction (FSI)
• Detail design of all the connections of the H.E.S.S. II telescope
