Case studies:

Selection of research and development projects Scanscot Technology have participated in (Click the titles for more information):

• ISP 48: Structural analysis of containment test
  A method utilizing finite element technique for determining the load effects due to internal over-pressurization in combination with temperature loads for pre-stressed concrete reactor containments, has been developed by Scanscot Technology.

• SMART 2008: Eartquake simulation
  The SMART 2008 project include a blind prediction of the structure behaviour under different seismic loadings. It is presented as a contest, eligible to teams including practicing structural engineering companies as well as the academic and research community, worldwide.
