Higligts on Advance Engineering Solutions
Vehicle Barrier Impact analysis
Highway barriers must now comply with the updated AASHTO Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) requirements to ensure enhanced safety and performance. These standards mandate rigorous crash testing for both permanent and temporary safety features, including barriers, to better protect motorists. Trio Structures has inhouse capabilities of modeling AASHTO MASH Test Levels to qualify new barrier design without testing.
Aircraft Impact Analysis (AIA)
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has mandated that applicants for new nuclear power reactors conduct a design-specific assessment of the potential impacts of a large commercial aircraft crash. This requirement, detailed in 10 CFR 50.150, aims to ensure that new reactor designs incorporate features and capabilities to maintain core cooling, containment integrity, and spent fuel cooling with minimal operator intervention in the event of such an impact. Trio Structures staff has performed AIA for different new Small Modular Reactor buildings utilizing advance explicit Finite Element Modeling software.
Fluid Structure Interaction Modeling
Modeling Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) is crucial in nuclear applications due to its ability to simulate the complex interactions between coolant fluids and reactor structures. Accurate FSI models help ensure the structural integrity and safety of nuclear reactors under various operating conditions, including thermal and pressure loads. This capability is vital for predicting and mitigating potential failure modes, optimizing reactor design, and enhancing the overall efficiency and reliability of nuclear power plants. By providing detailed insights into the dynamic behavior of reactor components, FSI modeling supports the development of safer and more resilient nuclear energy systems
Seismic Analysis
Performing seismic analysis and design for structures and infrastructure requires a comprehensive understanding of the Structure Performance during the Seismic activities. Trio Structures Engineering Staff are specialized in conducting Seismic analyses using time and frequency domain methodologies which allows accurate representation for the forces in the members and the structure performance during the earthquake event.
Advance Connection Design
Advanced connection design and the prediction of elastic and inelastic buckling are critical components in structural engineering. These processes involve the use of sophisticated modeling techniques and materials science to ensure that connections within a structure can withstand various loads and stresses. By accurately predicting how materials will behave under both elastic (reversible) and inelastic (permanent) deformation, engineers can design connections that maintain structural integrity during extreme events, such as earthquakes or heavy winds. Trio have supported the development of many connections that facilitate ease of construction by introducing unique solutions packed up with advance modeling technologies
Design of Structures For Fire and Elevated Temperatures
Analyzing structures for fire and elevated temperature loads involves assessing how materials and structural elements respond to high heat and potential fire exposure. This process includes evaluating the thermal properties of materials, and how material strength degrades as the temperature increases. Advanced simulations and fire testing are often employed to model the effects of fire on structural components, helping to identify potential weaknesses and improve fire safety designs. This analysis is crucial for developing buildings and infrastructure that can withstand the extreme conditions of a fire, ultimately protecting lives and property. At Trio, we possess the capability for conducting state of the art analysis to simulate system response at elevated temperatures. Our approach has been validated using a large suite of experimental fire testing data.
