Solutions that minimise risk and maximise results
倦零Earthquakes are among the most severe natural disasters we must contend with. Seismic hazard describes the probability of ground motion impact in a given area or at a site. Seismic hazard analyses, therefore assesses the scale of this impact on land whereas seismic risk analyses assesses its impact on existing structures in order to optimize design and mitigate risk.
Every year, earthquakes result in around 20,000 deaths with accompanying economic losses amounting to approximately US $7.5 billion. Given the unpredictability and potential severity of these natural disasters, implementing measures to protect people, critical infrastructure and investments from damage caused by seismic impact is vital.
Site-specific seismic hazard analyses and adequate seismic design solutions play an important role in decreasing seismic risk.
In order to complete an optimized safety and cost-efficient assessment, an analysis of the seismic impact is fundamental. Therefore, a site-specific seismic hazard analyses considering local site response is key for an adequate seismic design analysis and mitigating seismic risk. For existing buildings and facilities, a structural analysis of the seismic risk evaluates the seismic safety and identifies critical elements for retrofitting.
