CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
Structural analysis is the determination of the effects of loads on physical structures and their components. Structures
subject to this type of analysis include all that must withstand loads, such as buildings, bridges, vehicles, machinery,
furniture, attire, soil strata, prostheses and biological tissue. Structural analysis incorporates the fields of applied
mechanics, materials science and applied mathematics to compute a structure's deformations, internal forces, stresses,
support reactions, accelerations, and stability. The results of the analysis are used to verify a structure's fitness for
use, often saving physical tests. Structural analysis is thus a key part of the engineering design of structures.

CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
Expansive soils are soils that expand when water is added, and shrink when they dry out. This continuous change in
soil volume causes homes built on this soil to move unevenly and crack. Each year in the United States, expansive
soils cause $2.3 billion in damage to houses, other buildings, roads, pipelines, and other structures. This is more than
twice the damage from floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes combined.
Ground improvement techniques are one of the important aspects for soil stabilization. It can be done by adding
materials, stone column, sand drains etc. Compaction is required for the Ground improvement techniques and its type
vary with the type of soils. Sometime grouting and geo-textiles materials are also used for Ground improvement.
