Performance-Based Seismic Design and Peer Review

At DesignEdge Structural Solutions, we pride ourselves on offering comprehensive performance-based seismic evaluation services, ensuring that buildings not only meet but exceed the highest standards of safety and functionality. Our expertise spans multiple guidelines and standards, including ASCE, ATC, TBI, LATBSDC, and FEMA, making us the ideal partner for your structural design needs.

Comprehensive Seismic Performance Evaluation

Our seismic performance evaluation services are designed to provide a thorough analysis. We employ state-of-the-art software like PERFORM 3D, adhering to industry standards and ensuring precise results. By utilizing actual seismic records, we can provide highly accurate representations of how structures will perform during an earthquake.

Expertise in ASCE and FEMA Guidelines

We possess in-depth knowledge of the ASCE 41-23 and FEMA P-58 guidelines, which are critical for validating and enhancing seismic performance. Our team is skilled in applying these standards to ensure that your building designs meet all necessary requirements and can withstand seismic events with minimal damage.

Advanced Modeling Techniques

Our engineers are proficient in modeling complex reinforced concrete elements, steel framing, buckling restrained braces, and viscous dampers. This expertise allows us to create detailed and accurate models that reflect the true behavior of structures under seismic loads.

High-Rise Seismic Design

DesignEdge Structural Solutions specializes in high-rise seismic performance-based design, meeting the rigorous requirements set forth by TBI, LATBSDC, ACI, and ASCE 7. We conduct thorough analyses to ensure that high-rise buildings are designed to maintain structural integrity during seismic events, protecting both the structure and its occupants.

Collaborative Peer Review Process

Our team offers comprehensive peer review services to validate and enhance seismic performance. We work closely with design teams to ensure compliance with the latest codes and standards. Our collaborative approach includes engaging in in-depth discussions with design teams and peer reviewers, effectively addressing comments, and facilitating project closeout.
