Raleigh, North Carolina June 2007 --- Applied Science International, LLC, a subsidiary of The Steel Network, Inc., opened a new era in engineering simulation with a dramatic demonstration of its breakthrough technology, the ability to accurately predict the progressive collapse of a structure prior to an actual implosion or other extreme loading threat (blast, earthquake, hurricane winds, etc.). On June 3rd, the historic Charlotte Coliseum was demolished in a spectacular 13-second implosion, leaving only a pile of metal, concrete, and rubble to mark the spot where this celebrated structure once stood. What singled this event out from all other implosions, however, was the historic significance attached to its deconstruction. Because of the utilization of ASI's revolutionary technology a demolition plan was fully simulated and the results were demonstrated to the developer and the general and demolition contractors before the implosion. When asked about the drive behind the creation of this new technology, ASI Chief Executive Officer, Edward di Girolamo stated, "Our goal began almost 12 years ago with the desire to create a new technology that would be capable of completely redefining how buildings are designed, analyzed, constructed, protected and demolished." "By reinventing the approach currently used (one that was developed in the 1940's), we have created the capability to predict and visualize a structure's behavior in a manner found nowhere else." "This demonstration ...
