Seismic Hazard
Being based in the Bay Area means that Rockridge Geotechnical evaluates seismic hazards for virtually every project. Our engineers incorporate state-of-the-art methods and expertise to perform site-specific geotechnical earthquake analysis to precisely quantify seismic hazards, optimize designs, and apply performance-based engineering. Our expertise includes:
- Liquefaction evaluation and mitigation
- Developing foundation recommendations and design criteria for seismic retrofits
- Site-specific ground motion hazard analysis, including probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA and DSHA)
- Equivalent linear and non-linear site response analysis
- Developing earthquake ground motion values suited for advanced structural analysis
