Structural Engineers Louisiana. Crowley, Acadia Parish, LA
EMA has Structural engineers Louisiana who provide the highest quality of structural and forensic engineering and expert witness services. Our services include structural engineering, building structural inspections, structural damage inspections, structural evaluations, structural design, forensic damage inspections, flood damage assessment to residential homes, commercial building, industrial warehouses, structural damage assessment, roof damage inspections, fire damage inspections, building structural assessments, structural foundation collapse, and assessment. We have provided building damage inspections and structural damage inspections after hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Andrew, and many others, and have been very experienced in determining the origin of the damages in the building at very competitive fees.
Our team of experienced Structural Engineers Louisiana offers the following areas of expertise:
(1) Structural Engineers Louisiana for Building structural design & Defects
Structural Damage Inspections performed by Structural Engineers Bahamas
Forensic Damage Inspections by Professional Engineers in Florida
Forensic Damage inspections.
Roof damage inspections
storm damage inspections
hail damage inspections, wind damage inspections
Foundation damage inspection of residential and commercial buildings. Structural Engineering Inspections
Forensic Collapse & Insurance Claims and Reports.
Structural Condition Assessments.
Discovery Assistance.
Second Opinion Structural & Forensic Inspections for Dispute Resolution.
Expert Witness & Testimonial.
We provide structural & forensic damage assessment reports to insurance, as well as adjuster clients for building failures, natural disasters, and failures due to underdesign. We also provide estimates for repairs based on original values and ASV. Whether the collapse is due to a design fault, natural disasters, deficient structural design, or over-stressing. We can provide you with good enough reports that can tell u the real problem.
Finite Element Analysis (Structural Engineers Louisiana)
The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a numerical method for solving problems of engineering and Structural Analysis of buildings, bridges, warehouses, etc. by our structural engineers Louisiana
FEA is helpful for problems with complicated geometries, loadings, and material properties where analytical solutions can not be obtained.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Finite Element Method (FEM).
The Purpose of FEA Analytical is to provide Solutions for the following:
• Stress analysis for trusses, beams, and other superficial structures is carried out based on dramatic simplification
and idealization:
– mass concentrated at the center of gravity
– beam simplified as a line segment (same cross-section)
• Design is based on the calculation results of the idealized
structure & a significant safety factor (1.5-3) given by experience.
• Design geometry is a lot more complex and requires much higher accuracy. We need to understand the physical behaviors of a complex object (strength, heat transfer capability, fluid flow, etc.)
– To predict the performance and behavior of the design; to calculate the safety margin; to identify the weakness of the design accurately; and
– To identify the optimal design with confidence
