Seismic Design Criteria

Seismic Performance

[Resources]

New Albion Geotechnical has directly contributed to the development of seismic guidelines and standards for major civil infrastructure including port waterfront structures, marine oil terminals, and LNG facilities. These efforts have focused on the practical application of performance-based seismic design principals.

The development of seismic performance standards requires the synthesis of the latest research developments on the cyclic behavior of materials and structures, construction methods and materials, lessons learned from project applications, and observations made in the field following damaging earthquakes. New Albion Geotechnical has shared experience and field observations with industry leaders in the development of seismic analysis and design requirements for specific regions and major civil works applications.
