PATENTED SEISMIC EVALUATIONS
Patented Methodology
Seismic performance assessments directly based on sensing results.

Extract seismic engineering demand parameters such as accelerations, shear forces and drift based solely on sensing data

Does not require detailed structural drawings, known material properties, or the creation of finite-element models, removing conservative engineering estimates from analysis process

Based on the building properties in its current condition, including changes in material properties, connections and building response due to aging. Can be repeated rapidly post-earthquake to determine actual performance to aftershocks

Validated on over 80 earthquakes on the world's largest full scale 10-story shake table test and 5-story shake table test at the advanced UCSD facility in California, and at the UB 2-story building shake table
