Raleigh, North Carolina, December 2007 --- Applied Science International, LLC, a subsidiary of TheSteel Network, Inc., is showcasing an engineering simulation that predicts the progressive collapse ofthe Stubbs Tower in Savannah, Georgia. Although the collapse of this fifteen story building is notslated to occur until 8:00 AM on Saturday, December 15th, the software\'s animation depicting thevisualization of this event was released to the press by NC State prior to the demolition.Earlier this year, the historic Charlotte Coliseum was demolished in a spectacular 13-secondimplosion, leaving only a pile of metal, concrete, and rubble to mark the spot where this celebratedstructureonce stood. What singled this event out from all other implosions was that ASI simulatedthe demolition plan and the results were demonstrated to the developer and demolition contractorsweeks before the implosion.When asked about the vision driving this new software, ASI Chief Executive Officer EdwarddiGirolamo stated, \"Our goal began almost 12 years ago with the desire to create a new technology,one that would be completely capable of redefining how buildings are designed, analyzed,constructed, protected, and demolished. The Stubbs Tower project is another example of thesuccessful use of the software; this time by Josh Griffin, an NC State graduate student.\"\"Our goal is to put this advanced structural engineering analysis tool into the hands of all practicingengineers beginning in January 2008. They will essentially be able to predict and visualize astructure\'s behavior on their PC in a manner, and at a level of speed and accuracy found nowhereelse.\"ASI has been involved in several demolition predictions beforehand; go to www.extremeloading.com.Spectators are generally limited to hearing a series of explosions prior to watching a dust cloud riseup from the collapsing structure as the roofline disappears behind the dust. Mr. diGirolamocontinued, \"With our Extreme Loading Technology (ELT) we can envision what is occurring behind thedust cloud; we can demonstrate the progressive collapse of the Stubbs Tower from start to finish andfrom every desired angle -- both inside and outside of the building.\"\"We continue to see new and exciting applications for the use of this technology. We can analyzeany structure, no matter how large or how small, predict how it will react to just about any externalforce, and then protect that structure from unnecessary damage. Engineering companies, securityfirms, and first responders who have to design for, protect against, or respond to emergenciesaffecting buildings like earthquakes, hurricane force winds, collapse, and man-made threats like blastsare a perfect fit for using ELT on their projects.\"Today ASI applies its technology in construction design and analysis, in vulnerability assessment andrisk mitigation planning, in forensics, and in deconstruction and demolition planning. ASI\'s ExtremeLoading Technology was originally unveiled at a Homeland Defense Conference sponsored by theHomeland Defense Journal and reviewed in a Special Report earlier this year and is available atwww.homelanddefensejournal.com.\"We have one of the world\'s leading technologies; a \'what if\' capability with unlimited potential toimprove multiple areas of scientific research where material separation and behavior is studied.Because it is structural behavior we are interested in today, it is our desire to help create a saferworld with structures that are not only built to last but have the ability to offer their occupants thegreatest degree of protection and security,\" concluded diGirolamo.
