Clients in seismically active regions rely on the seismic and ground motion services provided by EKSI GLOBAL. The company’s engineers assess the potential for fault rupture, soil failure, and ground deformation, developing detailed, site-specific ground motion criteria for seismic design.

The services provided by EKSI GLOBAL include:

• Field Mapping of Seismic Sources: Identifying and mapping seismic sources to assess potential hazards.
• Development of Probabilistic and Deterministic Site-Specific Response Spectra: Creating tailored response spectra based on probabilistic and deterministic methods for site-specific seismic conditions.
• Nonlinear and Equivalent-Linear Ground Response Analyses: Conducting in-depth ground response analyses to predict soil behavior under seismic loading.
• Development of Site-Specific Time Histories: Generating time histories that reflect the unique seismic conditions of the site.
• Seismic Stability of Slopes: Analyzing the seismic stability of both natural and artificial slopes, including deformation analysis.
• Seismic Evaluation of Landfills: Assessing landfills for seismic performance to mitigate risk during earthquakes.
• Soil-Structure Interaction Analyses: Evaluating the interaction between soil and structures during seismic events to ensure safety and stability.
• Liquefaction Potential Evaluation: Analyzing the potential for liquefaction and the associated deformations that could occur during an earthquake.

These comprehensive services help ensure that projects in seismically active areas are designed to withstand seismic forces, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring safety.
