Physical Hydraulic Models

• Definition of the hydraulic design features worth to be analyzed through physical models.

• Preparation of technical specifications and planning of tests.

• Assistance during tests, analysis and interpretation of results.

Mathematical Models

• Finite element models (FEM) to calculate distribution of stresses in the structures, in the corresponding foundations and in the rock masses.

• Finite element models for the static and dynamic analysis of loose material dams and underground works, adopting different behavior laws for soils and rocks.

• Finite difference and finite element models for the analysis of seepage and consolidation problems.

• Models for the study of free and pressure flow water discharge and transients in hydraulic systems.
