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 the requirements of 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.
