and rehabilitation of a number of new and existing
long-span bridges. Our cutting-edge technologies
in nonlinear dynamic analysis, simulation of spatial
variation of earthquake ground motions arising
from local site response, loss of coherency and
wave passage were employed in the design of the
Metsovitikos suspension bridge in Greece.
Main copy:
For the rock-anchored Metsovitikos bridge, the
performance-based method enabled us to quantify
the sliding distances of the main cable anchorages
under the safety evaluation earthquake, resulting in
substantial savings in the construction costs of
these gravity anchorages.

addition to civil, industrial and transportation
structures, we also have extensive experience of the
seismic design and assessment of equipment and
non-structural systems. Many of these, particularly
those handling hazardous materials, must meet high
performance standards in order to protect public
safety and the environment.

We have extensive knowledge and experience of
assessing and retrofitting existing structures. We
have applied the performance-based approach
combined with advanced nonlinear dynamic analysis
to many types of existing structure ranging from
buildings to petrochemical facilities in many parts
of the world including California, Japan, Turkey,
Europe and Asia. We are able to provide full financial
risk assessment services, for instance, probable
maximum loss estimates.

Main copy:
In addition to conventional structural analysis
software such as ETABS, SAP2000 and Perform3D,
Arup has utilised the nonlinear dynamic analysis
code LS-DYNA extensively for performance based
seismic analysis since 1985.
LS-DYNA has advantage of an extremely fast explicit
solver running in parallel processing, which makes
practical the analysis of much larger and more
detailed analysis models than any other program
available. In addition, Arup has worked in conjunction
with the authors of LS-DYNA, LSTC, to develop a
large number of new features specifically for seismic
analysis over the past 20 years.
