• This project included the design and construction of one combined cycle
and two simple cycle natural gas power generation units located in Los
Angeles, California for a total generation of 560 megawatts.
• The plant will replace the existing unit 3 generator with a modern, state-
of-the art facility that implements improved efficiency and reliability
with a cleaner and flexible system.
• The structural scope of the project included the design of multiple steel
structures and reinforced concrete foundation systems.
• The project was designed to meet high seismic requirements and the
California Building Code.
• The structural systems were modeled in the CSI software packages SAP
2000 and SAFE.
• The project budget totaled over $950 million.
• Shown below is a picture of a portion of the project.

• This project was a 4,900 square foot, 60 foot tall building addition to an
existing beer brewery in New Glarus, Wisconsin.
• The expansion cellar housed large tanks and brewing equipment that was
part of a series of projects in the pursuit of the manufacturer’s goal of
meeting an annual production of 250,000 barrels.
• The framing system consisted of tapered moment resisting frames with a
unique 5-pointed gambrel roof geometry.
• The structure was modeled using the MBS Metal Building Software.
• This project won the Chief Industries building of the year award.
• The structural steel contract totaled 80 tons.
• The green building shown in the below picture is the cellar included in
the scope of this project.

• This was a 355,000 square foot design-build manufacturing facility for
production of extra high voltage (EHV) cables located at the Bushy Park
Industrial Complex near Charleston, South Carolina.
• One of the key challenges of this project included the design of a single
story, 80 foot tall, and 72 foot clear span building located in a high
seismic and hurricane region of the United States.
• The shell of the building was designed to meet the requirements of
Factory Mutual 1-120 certification.
• This structure featured long span frames and jack beams, multistory
office space, and was designed to support extensive loads from
equipment and cranes.
• The structural steel and joist contract totaled 1,500 tons.
• Shown below is the construction of the manufacturing facility with the
steel building and concrete tower.

• This project was a 74,000 square foot, 3 story office building located in
Fort Wayne, Indiana.
• The structure was modeled using Bentley RAM Structural System and
RAM Advanse.
• The framing system consisted of moment resisting frames constructed of
prismatic welded wide flange sections.
• Some of the unique features of this project included oblique and circular
geometry of the building shell and floor layout.
• The structural design model was imported into Design Data SDS/2
detailing software for creation of a 3D building information model.
• The structural steel and joist contract totaled 600 tons.
• Shown below is the RAM Structural System model used to design the
structure as well as a rendering of the building.

• This project involved the creation of computer software to automatically
generate structural design and building information models for the
RISA-3D and Design Data SDS/2 software packages.
• The pre-processing software greatly decreases the time required to create
3D structural models that include accurate geometry creation as well as
automatic load generation.
• The software linked several different individual 2D design programs to
form a single 3D model for the analysis, design, and detailing of steel
structures.
• One of the unique challenges of this project was the artificial intelligence
engine to compensate for incorrect and unknown information that may
not be available at the quote stage.
• The figure shown below is a RISA-3D model of a beryllium
manufacturing facility that was 100% computer generated with optimized
geometry and applied external loads.

• These projects include the development of several different computer
software programs for the analysis and design of structural systems.
• The software includes a finite element analysis processer and solver as
well as a graphical user interface (GUI) for pre-processing.
• Library routines were developed for the design of structural steel sections
according to the provisions of AISC 360.
• Most of the software has been written in the C++ programming language
except for a few FORTRAN routines that are utilized for intense
calculation processing.
• The graphical interface utilizes the popular Qt framework and is
completely compatible with almost all operating systems including
Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
• The program has the ability to export to 3rd party software such as the
open source FRAME3DD project.
• Shown below is a screenshot of the graphical interface for the finite
element solver.
