STRUCTURAL DESIGN

CP&A provides designs for steel, concrete and wood structures of all types, including commercial buildings, residential buildings, offshore structures, and various types of crane structures. Our specialty is steel structures with special requirements, such as dynamic seismic loads, wind induced vibrations, wave motions, and any other static and dynamic, linear and non-linear analyses specified in the design codes or user specifications. We use state-of-the-art computer analysis, design and drafting practices. We have developed our own custom software to increase our efficiency, reliability, and robustness of our designs.

Fundamentals are just part one of engineering excellence. Experience is part two and no engineer or engineering organization can be experienced in all examples of structural design. What type of structural design projects fit exceptionally well with CP&A’s expertise and experience?

	Cranes of any type
	Commercial buildings
	Residential buildings
	Offshore structures
	Docks, Piers, and Crane runways
	Performance based seismic design, including structures that require non‑linear time-history analysis.
	Structures subject to unusual loading such as dynamic, thermal, or acoustic loads.
	New structural concepts for which no engineers have valid experience and engineering fundamentals become the only road to success.
