Finite Element (FE) calculations – a paradigm shift
Finite Element (FE) calculations – a paradigm shift It is no exaggeration to say that FE calculations applied to civil engineering structures are a paradigm shift for structural analysis. Indeed, it is possible to transpose to structural engineering the conce...

A short and broad introduction of the Recommendations and Advice
A short and broad introduction of the Recommendations and Advice Civil engineering construction projects require to justify the work regarding the risks identified upon technical baselines, which are usually based on the current regulation or chosen by the co...
Chapter A. Introduction
Chapter A. Introduction When performing a FE calculation of a structure, the modeling assumptions as well as the objectives must be defined. Those goals generally consist of solving: the displacements caused by a static loading (permanent) quasi-static (...
Chapter B. Structural Dynamics
Chapter B. Dynamics For many applications such as seismic calculations, collisions, vibrations… it is necessary to consider the dynamic phenomena. The dynamic charges applied to a civil engineering structure belong to two different categories: phenome...
Chapter C. Static non-linear calculations
Chapter C. Nonlinear Static calculations Nonlinear calculations are generally time-demanding: a finite element software solves a nonlinear problem as a series of linear problems (incremental process). To prepare this type of calculation the user has to make d...

Chapter E. Typical post-treatment in Civil Engineering
Chapter E. Typical post-treatment in Civil Engineering Introduction In civil engineering there is a great variety of quantities of interest because of the numerous subjects that can be studied: The nature of the construction considered and its functiona...
Chapter F – Geotechnical calculations
Chapter F – Geotechnical calculations Introduction Conventional methods for the design and dimensioning of geotechnical structures mainly aim to analyze the resistance to failure of an isolated structure. These analytical or semi-analytical methods only con...
A1. General formulation for linear elastic calculations
A1. A general formulation for linear elastic calculations The two main formulations for linear calculations are displacements-based and stress-based. Most of the software nowadays rely on a displacement formulation because it can easily consider the boundary ...
A2. The dimensionality of the model
A2. The dimensionality of the model It is very important to simplify the full-size problem to model the interaction between the structure and its environment. To do so, there are 2 known techniques: the first one consists of transforming the full-size pr...
A3. Choosing the finite elements
A3. Choosing the finite elements Choosing the element is an important step. The goal is to select the type of element (its shape, the order of the shape functions associated), and the size of the element. The type and size of the elements define the form and ...
A4. Interaction between the structure and its environment
A4. Interaction between the structure and its environment Taking into account the interactions between the structure and its environment: this consideration allows us to reduce the number of discrepancies between the model and the real-life structure. The eff...
A5. Estimation of the quality of the approximated numerical solution
A5. Estimation of the quality of the approximated numerical solution The difference between the exact solution of the problem and the approximate one obtained through the finite element method allows us to assess the quality of the solution: this is called “d...

B1. Analysis based on a modal search A reminder of the concept of simple oscillator – Concept of the elastic response spectrum In the following section, a lot of applied methods return the response of damped oscillators with a degree of freedom often named s...
B2. Analysis based on a direct temporal integration
B2. Analysis based on a direct temporal integration Schemes of integration Main Principles: The principle of the different direct integration methods is to divide the studied interval into n smaller intervals of length ∆t = T/n and to verify the equilibriu...
