Building Design Solutions

Today’s engineers need to do more, faster. As well as designing in steel or concrete, they need to optimize building performance, using stronger materials to create lighter structures while remaining sensitive to footfall and vibration issues.

With continued blurring of the distinction between structural and geotechnical engineering, building designers often need to examine how a building interacts with the ground. And with clients demanding faster design and project delivery, avoiding errors and omissions is critical.

Our suite of building design software enables engineers to move seamlessly from designing the building to analysing the soil structure interaction. The solutions offer a complete range of tools to design and analyse buildings; whether it is a tall structure or a complex iconic building.

GSA Analysis is a highly intuitive tool, enabling users to carry out 3-D linear, P-delta, non-linear static analysis, dynamic analysis and more. GSA Building gives structural engineers everything they need to design and analyse even the most complex buildings. With this intuitive software, engineers can design structural models with skeletal frames and two-dimensional finite elements.

GSA Suite combines the power of GSA Building and GSA Bridge to form a comprehensive package for structural engineers working on buildings, bridges and tensile structures.

Working from first principles, AdSec analyses loaded sections including creep and pre-stress effects, while ADC analyses and designs multi-span concrete beams and slabs, including connecting columns. Compos offers powerful analysis and design of studded composite steel beams.

CADrebar completes our building design solutions, providing fast AutoCAD concrete detailing and scheduling.
