    AI Summary
    • Demonstrates practical application of nonlinear FEA through real-world projects including CFRP-retrofitted RC beams and complex box girders.
    • Explains handling of nonlinearities such as cracks, buckling, and construction stages in FEA NX.
    • Covers integration of soil-structure interaction and retaining walls within advanced modeling workflows.
    • Shares modeling strategies to improve design confidence and reduce reliance on traditional hand calculations.

    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
