SC-SASSI is an upgraded soil-structure interaction analysis (SSI) software tool developed by Structural Integrity Associates. Based on a long-established industry standard, this advanced critical infrastructure analysis tool leverages state-of-the-art computing to overcome traditional SSI computational bottlenecks. SC-SASSI is a licensed SSI software that offers high-performance computing (HPC) benefits for many industries, including nuclear energy and civil infrastructure.
SC-SASSI delivers a more realistic understanding of soil-structure interaction by closing the gap between modeling assumptions and field behavior. Leveraging modern analysis methods and high-performance computing, it enables targeted, cost-effective mitigations while reducing regulatory risk and avoiding unnecessary blanket retrofits.
Though not solely a nuclear industry solution, the US NRC audited and approved the technical and commercial grade dedication (CGD) aspects of SASSI HPC functionality, for various efforts, including:
