Engineering Response to the Challenges of War: Modeling Damaged Structures in LIRA-FEM
On April 22, 2026, the VI International Scientific and Technical Conference “Latest Trends in Urban Construction and Infrastructure Development” was held at the National University of Water and Environmental Engineering (Rivne, Ukraine).
April 24, 2026
In the section “Reconstruction of Construction Facilities”, representatives of LIRA SAPR delivered a presentation on the topic: “Methodology for Numerical Modeling of a Residential Building Based on Post-UAV Damage Assessment”.
Speakers: Yevhen Tsiupyn — PhD, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Metal and Timber Structures, KNUBA; Oleksii Bashynskyi — PhD, Lead Engineer at LIRA SAPR.
The presentation introduced a methodology for developing a finite element model of a residential building that accounts for real damage caused by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) strikes. The approach is based on in-situ structural inspection data and enables reliable assessment of load-bearing capacity and the residual life of damaged elements using LIRA-FEM — a software solution for civil structures analysis, widely used for modeling and analysis of buildings of varying complexity.
The topic reflects one of the company’s key focus areas — the development of tools for modeling and analysis of buildings damaged during wartime in Ukraine.
We thank the conference organizers for the opportunity to discuss urgent challenges of national reconstruction together with the scientific and engineering community.
