Earthquake Risk Consulting

Earthquake risk consulting for your business can be conducted by analyzing the earthquake history and geological characteristics. The consulting includes that calculate an expected loss amount, and suggest response plans in accordance to the domestic and international safety codes. There are four areas to the earthquake risk consulting

Earthquake scenario

Select possible earthquake scenario considering earthquake hazard and geological characteristics of your business site. Support to development of earthquake criteria according to earthquake magnitude and emergency response plans for each scenario.

Earthquake risk assessment for site ground

Evaluate site amplification and ground failure risks using site response analysis. An optimal recommendation such as ground improvement or reinforcement can be suggested considering the site conditions. If needed, the possibility of liquefaction will be evaluated.

Structural seismic safety evaluation

Evaluate seismic capacity of structure by reviewing design criteria and simulating earthquakes, and suggest economic recommendation (column, bearing wall etc.) in preparation to the large earthquake.

Non-Structural seismic safety evaluation

Evaluate seismic capacity of sensitive equipment and utility systems by site surveys and earthquake simulations. Recommendation to minimize earthquake damage, such as bracing and reinforcement of piping can be provided.
