For projects of unconventional size, shape, structural system or function that are in high-seismic areas, meeting standard building codes alone may not always make sense. Performance-based seismic design (PBSD) can provide a better approach.
The total transformation of the venue serves as a structural engineering benchmark for existing building renovations in high seismic zones and demonstrates what can be accomplished with modern design and analysis techniques.
For specific geographic locations, hurricanes are a near certainty—it’s a matter of when, not if. Our firm has extensive experience helping clients both plan for the inevitable and execute a rapid assessment approach in the aftermath of a storm.
Climate change brings rising water levels, rendering many structures vulnerable to potential flooding. In fact, scientists have predicted that global sea levels could rise by as much as 12 inches by 2050. Add hurricanes to the mix, and it’s more important than ever for owners to establish flood resilience strategies ahead of a storm.
As we approach the start of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, let’s take a look back at the 2022 season, as well as the developing El Niño, and learn what this means for the season to come.
