Structural Design

Structural design is an important sub-discipline of civil engineering. It may very well be portrayed as a set of methods or tools that are used to determine cross-sectional measurement, the grade of material, amount of reinforcement and so on, needed to withstand the internal forces that we have from structural analysis. MEEE Design Services structural designers perform a basic structural examination to make sense of what internal and external forces could influence the structure, to design a structure with the fitting materials and fortifications to meet the requirements.

We develop economical, state-of-the-art structural solutions that fit within your architectural layout. We could provide design consultancy in the below-mentioned projects.

Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit

To mitigate earthquake risks, MEEE Design Services offers profound and technical knowledge of special building code and testing requirements, together with expert techniques to provide creative and less expensive ways to augment existing or new structures to meet current standards.

It is no secret that California homes are susceptible to earthquake risk. The level of structural damage, however, depends on the structure’s proximity or nearness to the epicenter and how strong the earthquake is. A sound seismic retrofit will help reduce the structural damage from an earthquake.

We constantly strive to provide seismic design services that bring value to architects, property owners and managers, engineers, and contractors and help them achieve these objectives.

Soft Story

A typical soft story, Weak or Open-Front Wall Line building is a structure comprising of at least two stories set over a ground level with huge openings, for example, tuck-under parking, car packs, or a business storefront. Without legitimate reinforcing of these structures, the structure might be exposed to basic disappointment during and after an earthquake. “Pancake collapse”, which alludes to the upper floors falling onto the lower floors, thus squashing whatever is in the lower floors, can occur if the sideways movement during an earthquake is strong enough to break the feeble supports in the soft stories.

If your structure has soft stories, get it retrofitted at the earliest opportunity. Below are some of the reasons why prompt action is required:Minimize riskLower earthquake insurance premiumsSave on interestSave CashIf you’re looking to retrofit soft stories in your houses or buildings, look no farther than MEEE Design Services. Here, we offer a creative and cost-effective technique of strengthening a building’s quake-defenseless floor/floors to increase the structure’s resistance to unaligned forces existent during an earthquake.

Tenant Improvement

You may have pondered on how to expand or improve a structure you own. Why not let specialists think for you. MEEE Design Services provide structural design support needed to expand and/or upgrade ensuring successful improvements.

We provide professional design services required to convert or improve tenant spaces ranging from single-tenant spaces to entire buildings. In order to achieve this, MEEE Design Services facilitates with architectural, mechanical, and other design experts to determine whether structural corrections to the structure are required to support equipment changes and design components. Structural design for tenant improvement ranges from designing interior walls and ceiling, support for a sliding glass door to the anchorage of shelves, signage, cabinets, and displays.
