Structural Analysis

What Is Structural Analysis and Why It Matters

Structural analysis is the process of understanding how various forces — such as weight, wind, and temperature — affect a building’s framework. It helps engineers predict how materials will perform under stress and ensures that every structural element contributes to overall stability.

In the UAE, where climate conditions and construction scales are diverse, structural analysis plays a vital role in:

• Ensuring compliance with Dubai Municipality and Sharjah Building Codes
  
  
• Preventing cracks, deflections, and long-term structural issues
  
  
• Supporting sustainable design and safe material selection
  
  
• Minimizing maintenance and lifecycle costs
  
  

At Araka Engineering, we apply both manual calculations and computer-aided modeling (using tools like STAAD Pro, ETABS, and SAP2000) to create accurate, real-world simulations that guide construction decisions.

Our Structural Analysis Process

Our process is built around precision, transparency, and collaboration — ensuring every stakeholder understands the design’s technical and practical implications.

Structural Data Collection

We begin by collecting site data, design drawings, and material specifications to understand the project’s scope and requirements. Soil reports, geotechnical data, and architectural plans are carefully reviewed.

Load Analysis

Our engineers calculate the loads your structure must withstand — including dead loads (self-weight), live loads (occupants, furniture), wind loads, seismic activity, and temperature variations specific to the UAE environment.

Model Simulation

Using advanced software, we build a digital replica of your structure to analyze stress points, deflection behavior, and potential failure zones. This ensures the design can handle real-world conditions safely.

Code Compliance and Verification

We verify all calculations and modeling results against UAE construction standards, AASHTO, and ACI codes, ensuring that the final design is legally compliant and ready for authority submission.

Recommendations and Optimization

We identify potential weaknesses early and recommend changes that reduce material waste, lower costs, and improve durability. This stage often results in better performance and faster approval timelines.

Final Reporting and Support

A detailed report outlines the analysis, findings, and structural recommendations. Our engineers remain available for clarification, review meetings, and coordination with architects and contractors during execution.
