The office of Doron Shalev Engineering Ltd. specializes in various fields and facets of engineering, including civil engineering, aeronautical engineering and structural analysis.
The office has acquired vast experience designing structures as well as varied civil engineering projects such as high rise buildings, steel structures, pedestrian bridges, millions of square meters of office, commercial, industrial and residential structures, across the country and worldwide. In addition, the office has designed over two millions of square meters of unbonded post-tensioned slabs. The office specializes in complicated analyses to meet the requirements of israeli and international standards in wind and earthquake loadings.

Civil Engineering | | | | In the field of Aeronautical Engineering, the office is involved in the design of aircrafts (manned and unmanned), missiles and satellites for customers in Israel (Israel Aircraft Industries, Israel Military Industries, RAFAEL, Elbit and various others) and for customers abroad. The office is capable to provide engineering solutions and simulations performing most advanced analyses for any type of application in geometric and material nonlinearity, dynamic analyses - rigid and continuous, random vibrations, etc. This includes a unique specialty in composite materials applied in flight vehicles and whole variety of industrial applications.
The combined knowledge and expertise of the office enables to provide unique inter-disciplinary consultation and design services for any type of structure in terms of any type of geometry, material, loading, etc. |

Aeronautical Engineering | 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. |
