(CSI) is a structural and earthquake engineering software company founded in 1975 and based in Walnut Creek, California, with additional office location in New York. The structural analysis and design software CSI produce include SAP2000, CSiBridge, ETABS, SAFE, PERFORM-3D, and CSiCOL. One of Computer and Structure, Inc.'s software, ETABS, was used to create the mathematical model of the Burj Khalifa, currently the world's tallest building, designed by Chicago, Illinois–based Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM). In the Structural analysis section of their December 2009 Structural Engineer magazine article entitled "Design and construction of the world's tallest building: The Burj Dubai", since renamed to Burj Khalifa, William F. Baker, S.E. and James J. Pawlikowski, S.E. mention that gravity, wind, and seismic response were all characterized using ETABS. Further, ETABS' geometric nonlinear capability provided for P-delta effect consideration. == References == - [[Wiki-Architecture/Buildings and Structures]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 1 - Loads Forces and Effects]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 2 - Soils and Foundations]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 5A - Plain and Reinforced Concrete]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 8 - Glass and Glazing]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 08 - Building Services/Section 1 - Lighting and Ventilation]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 08 - Building Services/Section 5B - Escalators and Moving Walks]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 09 - Plumbing Services/Section 2 - Drainage and Sanitation]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 10 - Landscape and Signs/Section 1 - Landscape Planning]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 10 - Landscape and Signs/Section 2 - Signs and Display]] == External links == Computers and Structures, Inc. official website
