Seismic Analysis
Protect structures and equipment from earthquake damage with comprehensive seismic qualification.
Seismic analysis is critical for structures in earthquake-prone regions. Using response spectrum and time-history methods, we model structural behavior under various seismic scenarios, accounting for dynamic forces and damping to identify vulnerabilities and prevent catastrophic failure.
Our analyses optimize structural stiffness, connection strength, and foundation design to meet applicable seismic standards. This comprehensive approach ensures both safety and minimal damage during seismic events.
With extensive experience in international projects, we understand the unique seismic requirements and design standards of different countries and regions, ensuring your structures meet all local and international codes.

The benefits of using pushover analysis in earthquake engineering
In daily earthquake engineering, most earthquake analyses use linear or quasi-non-linear methods, where the non-linear behavior of structures is not taken into account explicitly during the analysis. The earthquake engineering field has long been in need of a performance-based analysis method that would also capture these non-linear effects i.e. inelasticity of structures.
Not only colorful pictures – CFD saves time and money
Did you know that by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) you can save as much as 80 % in design time and 60 % in design costs? During the past 20 years, I’ve been lucky enough to participate in many interesting simulation projects both in Finland and abroad and have seen how clients have received instant help. But what is CFD really? Where can it be applied and why should it be utilized?
