Durocher, Ph.D., Director Hsin-Hua Tsuei, Ph.D., CFD Manager Computer Aided Engineering Associates, Inc. 6 Engineering Consulting Firm – Sample Projects Large concrete dams require detailed analyses to evaluate their strength and stability. CAEA has evaluated the safety of large concrete dams subjected to flood and earthquake loading conditions. 3d cracked- base analyses are performed in an automated sequence, which updates the uplift loading as a function of crack growth. CAEA has worked with clients that have required analyses to be performed to meet either FERC or the Corps of Engineers licensing criteria.
