Seismic analysis and design of structures

The Research Unit of SDGEE has a long experience in analysis and design of structures in highly seismic regions, accounting for realistic soil conditions. Using advanced numerical tools, we perform state-of-the-art earthquake assessment of existing buildings, bridges, monuments and infrastructures, as well as state-ofpractice design of new structures.

  • Analysis of new and existing structures
  • Performance-based design of structures and infrastructures
  • 2D-3D soil-foundation-structure interaction and topography effects
  • Seismic assessment and retrofitting of structures
  • Seismic assessment and mitigation design of monumental buildings
  • Earthquake resistant design of foundations
