Description
This Tech Talk features real-world projects from SMEC, a global infrastructure leader, presented by Basim Matar, Bridges & Structures Engineer at SMEC Australia. Based on ASEC 2024 paper by Dr. Huy Binh Pham, the session explores how nonlinear FEA is applied in practice—not just in theory. From CFRP-retrofitted RC beams to complex box girders, and from soil-structure interaction to retaining walls and staged construction, you’ll learn how to apply FEA NX confidently in real design scenarios.
💡 This webinar is ideal for
- Structural engineers working on bridges, precast elements, and pile foundations
- Engineers interested in nonlinear behavior and advanced modeling using FEA NX
- Professionals seeking efficient alternatives to traditional hand calculations or simplified design assumptions
