	Cervanka Consulting Predvoje 22 162 00 Prague 6 CZECH REPUBLIC
CER The company specializes in numerical analysis of concrete structures and provides consulting and software in this field. Company know-how is based on many years of experience in the field of concrete mechanics and computational methods. It is an internationally recognized expert in the field of mechanics of concrete structures. The members of the research team actively participate in several international professional and scientific organizations-, FIB, IAFraMCos and IABSE. The company is extensively involved in consulting services and software development. Main software product is the program SBETA-ATENA for non-linear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures. This program can simulate the real structural behavior including concrete cracking, crushing and reinforcement yielding. The software has been extensively validated on experimental data and international round robin prediction analysis. Currently the company is developing new version of the product for more general applications. About half of the company remover comes from consulting and research projects. Currently the company is also working on two research projects funded by the Czech National Science Foundation dealing with the modeling of compressive concrete failure and time dependent behavior.
