Case Study: Multiple Specialized Concrete Services Providing Firm achieves ASCE-Compliant Structural Modeling with Flatworld Solutions

Flatworld Provided Structural Modeling & Seismic Load Analysis Meeting ASCE Codes

Flatworld Solutions worked with a U.S.-based multiple specialized concrete services firm operating across 40 locations in the U.S. and Canada. The customer needed seismic retrofit structural analysis support for an RCC building and required the structural modeling to meet minimum design load requirements, using the drawings provided and additional building information, while complying with ASCE 7-10 codes and ETABS software standards.

Flatworld Solutions assembled a team leader and experienced drafters, established communication to gather missing building data, and completed seismic analysis covering seismic, wind, machinery, water tank, wall, live, and dead loads. The final deliverables included story drift, joint displacement, axial loads, moments, forces, and reaction factors, with all load combinations meeting ASCE 7-10 requirements. Flatworld Solutions successfully delivered accurate, cost-effective structural modeling and seismic load analysis that supported the client’s retrofitting project.
