Seismic and Structural Assessments
We conduct comprehensive seismic and structural assessments to evaluate the safety and stability of existing structures. Our assessments identify vulnerabilities and recommend necessary upgrades or retrofits to enhance resilience and ensure compliance with safety codes and regulations, that includes,
Seismic Risk Evaluation
Analyzing the potential seismic risks based on the location and design of the structure, including assessment of local seismic activity, fault lines, and ground shaking intensity.
Structural Integrity Analysis
Assessing the current condition and stability of existing structures to ensure they can withstand seismic forces and meet safety standards.
Load Capacity Evaluation
Determining the load-bearing capacity of structural elements under seismic conditions, including beams, columns, and foundations, to identify potential vulnerabilities.
Dynamic Analysis
Conducting dynamic simulations to evaluate how the structure responds to seismic forces, including frequency response, modal analysis, and vibration analysis.
Retrofit and Strengthening Recommendations
Providing recommendations for retrofitting and strengthening existing structures to enhance their seismic resilience, including the addition of braces, shear walls, or base isolators.
Code Compliance Verification
Ensuring that the structure complies with current seismic design codes and standards and recommending modifications to meet updated regulations and best practices
Damage Assessment
Inspecting and documenting any damage to the structure resulting from seismic events, including cracks, deformations, and structural failures, and providing repair or remediation recommendations.
Foundation Evaluation
Assessing the adequacy of the foundation system to resist seismic forces, including soil-structure interaction, foundation stability, and settlement analysis.
Performance-Based Design
Applying performance-based design principles to evaluate how the structure will perform under various seismic scenarios and ensuring it meets the desired performance objectives.
Emergency Preparedness Planning
Developing strategies for emergency response and recovery, including structural safety measures, evacuation plans, and temporary support systems.
Monitoring and Maintenance Plans
Recommending ongoing monitoring and maintenance procedures to ensure the long-term seismic resilience of the structure and to address any potential issues over time.
Risk Mitigation Strategies
Identifying potential seismic risks and developing mitigation strategies to enhance overall safety and reduce the likelihood of significant damage during seismic events.
