Extreme Loading® Technology
ELT is designed around the Applied Element Method (AEM) of analysis, which is capable of performing linear and non-linear analysis that follows the behavior of structures through separation, collision, and collapse while automatically calculating:
· Yielding of Reinforcement
· Plastic Hinge Formation
· Buckling & Post-buckling
· Crack Propagation
· Membrane Action & P-Delta
· Separation of Elements
· Collision and Collapse
Since AEM can automatically detect the initiation of cracks, track their progression throughout the structure, and simulate actual element separation, collision and final collapse, it removes a large amount of human error. This produces a truer analysis of structural behavior than more manual methods of structural analysis.
Structural Engineering Services offered by ASI:
· Demolition analysis & planning
· Seismic analysis

Applied Science International provides clients with unique software solutions, support, and advanced analysis of actual or possible scenarios of structural failure as well as structural design and analysis. ASI’s team of veteran engineers and scientists provides a collective wealth of over 200 years of hands-on experience in engineering research, analysis, and design. ASI’s proprietary Extreme Loading® Technology (ELT) enables ASI to provide superior 3D analysis and visuals of failure due to wave impact, onshore failure, or collapse of production platforms, rigs, and other oilfield structures.
This unique capacity gives ASI an advantage over other engineering companies, which typically depend on hand calculations, simplified analysis, or artistic renditions. Results from ASI’s ELT analysis can effectively display and communicate technical events through video of the scenario to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, ASI also has a division office in Cairo, Egypt, to help serve clients throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. Clients have included Jacobs Engineering, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism, and the French Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission.
