Applied Science International, LLC, aka ASI is a United States-based company headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, that provides advanced engineering design and analysis software and services to the DHS, United States Department of Defense, Engineering Firms, Demolition Contractors, and Universities.

History

ASI was founded in 2003 to create structural analysis software tools utilizing a new method for the analysis of structures called the Applied Element Method (AEM) .[2] ASI's first release of Extreme Loading for Structures (ELS) was a 2D engineering analysis program allowing structural engineers to perform computer simulations for structural analysis purposes. Since then ASI has released v2.0 and v3.0, which allows users 3D modeling and simulating of the behavior of structures through all three stages of loading: small displacement, large displacement, and collision/collapse.

Software and services

Services

ASI provides services in several different areas including structural vulnerability assessment, forensic engineering analysis, progressive collapse analysis, blast analysis, demolition analysis, seismic analysis, impact analysis, glass performance analysis, performance based design, and product development.

Extreme Loading Technology

  • Extreme Loading for Structures: ELS is a software program that utilizes the Applied Element Method (AEM), a non-linear based solver that assists structural engineers in the study of the behavior of structures in 3D, throughout all stages of loading including static loads and dynamic loads such as those generated by blasts, seismic events, impacts and wind loads.
  • SLAM FX: SLAM FX is a software tool that assists visual effects professionals in the creation of destruction effects which can then be imported into animation software such as Autodesk Maya and 3d max for film and television.

Steel Smart Technology

  • Steel Smart System (SSS): SSS is a software tool that aids architects, engineers and contractors in the design and optimization of structures built from light gauge steel.[3]
  • Steel Smart Decks (SSD): SSD is a software tool developed to automate the process of deck system design using cold formed steel.[4]

Notable projects

  • Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building: ASI executed a study of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building utilizing the Applied Element Method and showing real-time analysis of the building performance as the blast occurred.[5]
  • I-35 Bridge Collapse: ASI provided forensic engineering analysis to identify the cause of the collapse of the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge. It was determined that weakened gusset plates were the cause of the collapse.[6]
  • Charlotte Coliseum: ASI provided the demolition contractor, Dykon Blasting Corp, a predictive simulation of the building implosion of the Charlotte Coliseum prior to the actual demolition.[7]
