The office has the experience, knowledge and ability to deal with all types of standard structures as well as with special civil engineering issues, using international, local and independently developed plans.
• Structural calculations – rigidity
and stability requirements according
to Israel Standard Institute standard
446 – concrete, standard 1225 –
steel and international standards.
• The use of 3D models using the
finite element method to
demonstrate the dynamic reaction,
of structures to external stress:
static analysis, dynamic analysis,
nonlinear analysis, etc.
• Full 3D analysis of horizontal stress
on structures: wind load – standard
414 – earthquake stress – the new
standard 413.
• Planning structures made with the
various types of pre-stressed
concrete: pre-tensioned, post-
tensioned, bonded and unbonded.
• Planning steel structures for industry
and additional structures
• Subjects regarding the functionality
of a structure – thermal influence,
stone and marble facing and caulking.
