Surface roughness is a key parameter in terrain analysis, offering insights into natural processes and geophysical features. Our survey highlights areas of high roughness, depicted in purple on the map, indicating increased landslide risk due to unsettled terrain. #SurfaceRoughness #TerrainAnalysis #LandslideRisk #infrastructure #construction

After Friday’s earthquake, DeSimone Managing Principal and structural engineer, Borys Hayda, PE, shared his expertise with NY1 News’ Annika Pergament, addressing the questions on everyone’s mind: How safe are NYC buildings and bridges after the tremor? How are such structures designed to withstand seismic activity, even in locales where such activity is uncommon? Check out the interview here: http://specne.ws/Thngwx

One effective way to protect the nation from future destructive earthquakes is to strengthen the national seismic-resistant building codes and to encourage their adoption and enforcement by the earthquake-prone communities. The NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures plays a key role to introduce best available science and research results into the development and improvement of the building codes and design standards.

Casualties during earthquakes often happen in older buildings that don’t comply with current seismic standards. Addressing this challenge is a major concern for both society and civil engineers. We must take a proactive approach by identifying and reducing these risks before an earthquake strikes. In this context, I am delighted to present my recently published research in the prestigious journal, Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering: https://lnkd.in/dvvYAkGs. I extend sincere appreciation and express gratitude to the reviewers, editorial team for their valuable insights that have contributed to enhancing the paper's quality.

We assess the seismic performance of structures which are in earthquake prone regions. For the assessment, we carry out survey studies in buildings, taking samples from structural elements with destructive and non-destructive methods, implement structural element x-ray applications, cover margin scraping, observational damage determination, foundation system detection and ground survey studies. According to the data obtained from these studies, we conduct performance analyses of the structures and determine their behaviour and vulnerability under earthquake loads. We prepare retrofitting projects to ensure that buildings are safe under the effect of earthquake forces. www.elbaengineering.com #designmanagement #structuralengineering #geotechnicalengineering #highways #tunnelling #residentialdesign #industrialdesign #expertise #consultancy #earthquakeengineering #earthquake

🏢 **Seismic Dampers: Enhancing Structural Resilience** In the face of seismic events, ensuring the safety and resilience of buildings is paramount. Seismic dampers play a crucial role in this endeavor, offering a robust solution to mitigate the destructive forces of earthquakes. 🛠️ **What are Seismic Dampers?** Seismic dampers are innovative devices engineered to absorb and dissipate seismic energy, safeguarding structures and their occupants from the devastating impacts of earthquakes. These dampers come in various forms, including viscous dampers, friction dampers, and tuned mass dampers, each tailored to address specific seismic challenges. 💼 **Benefits for Building Resilience** By incorporating seismic dampers into building designs, engineers and architects can significantly enhance structural resilience. These dampers effectively reduce structural damage and enhance occupant safety by absorbing and dispersing seismic forces, thereby minimizing the risk of collapse and preserving critical infrastructure. 🔬 **Continuous Innovation and Advancements** The field of seismic dampers is continuously evolving, with ongoing research and development driving innovation in design and performance. From enhanced materials to sophisticated engineering techniques, these advancements are instrumental in furthering the effectiveness and reliability of seismic dampers in protecting lives and assets. 🌐 **Global Adoption and Impact** Seismic dampers have gained widespread adoption across the globe, particularly in regions prone to seismic activity. Their proven effectiveness in safeguarding structures has made them a vital component of earthquake-resistant building designs, offering peace of mind to communities in earthquake-prone areas. 💡 **Looking Ahead** As we continue to prioritize safety and resilience in the built environment, seismic dampers will remain a cornerstone of earthquake mitigation strategies. By embracing innovation and collaboration, we can further enhance the efficacy of these dampers, ensuring robust protection against seismic hazards for generations to come. #StructuralEngineering #SeismicSafety #ResilientDesign #BuildingInnovation #EarthquakeMitigation
