Structural Analysis
I have developed a strong background in structural analysis using industry-standard software and custom-made computational tools. My work spans linear and nonlinear structural analysis, nonlinear finite element modeling, and dynamic response modeling.
SAP2000
SAP2000 Building and Bridge Models
Revit Structure
Structural Analysis in Robot (Revit Structure)
In addition to its modeling capabilities, Autodesk Revit integrates with Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis, enabling a seamless workflow between building information modeling (BIM) and structural analysis. I have used Revit to develop detailed 3D structural models, which were then transferred to Robot for analysis and design. Based on the analysis results, structural elements, including slabs, beams, and columns were refined within the Revit model to ensure consistency between analytical outcomes and the final design.

Sample Code
Beyond proficiency with industry-standard structural analysis software, I have developed custom finite element codes to tackle complex structural problems. This includes a linear static plane stress code for steel plates and a dynamic analysis code for tapered steel bars. Rigorous verification and validation against theoretical models ensured accurate, reliable, and high-fidelity results.
Plane Stress Finite Element Code Results
Dynamic Finite Element Code Results
I have used SAP2000 to model and analyze a range of structural systems, including reinforced concrete, steel, and prestressed concrete structures. My experience includes the analysis of buildings and bridges using various methods, such as linear static, nonlinear, and dynamic analysis. These analyses provided insight into key structural behaviours, including P–Δ effects, deflections, and column stability. I have also utilized the software’s design tools to evaluate and optimize structural elements based on analysis results.
When detailed analysis is needed to study the behavior of critical structural members, phenomena that general structural analysis software like SAP2000 or Revit Structure cannot fully capture, finite element analysis with more specialized tools becomes essential. ATENA, an advanced nonlinear finite element software, allows for precise modeling of reinforced concrete. I have developed ATENA models based on experimental data from my studies to analyze key structural elements, incorporating advanced simulations that capture reinforced concrete behavior, including crack propagation, crushing, steel reinforcement rupture, and durability effects.
