Fugro's Earthquake Geoscience and Engineering (EGE) group provides consulting services related to earthquake geoscience and engineering problems. The EGE Group combines the resources of WLA’s geohazard practice, REI’s seismic hazard and risk modeling expertise, and Fugro’s earthquake engineering services. The practice areas within the EGE group span a wide range of disciplines including:
Fault characterization
- Paleoseismic fault Investigations
- Fault rupture analyses
- Probabilistic fault displacement hazard analyses
- Earthquake seismology and geophysics
Site characterization
- Geotechnical characterization (e.g., subsurface analysis, liquefaction evaluation, foundation evaluation)
- Geologic characterization (e.g., surface and subsurface mapping, 3D geophysical mapping)
Seismic hazard analysis
- Probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard analyses
- Ground motion attenuation equation development
- Design ground motion and time history development
- Site response analyses (1D, 2D, 3D, linear, linear-equivalent, non-linear)
Earthquake effects
- Post-earthquake characterization
- Natural terrain hazard evaluations (e.g., landslides, settlement, slope stability)
- Induced earthquake evaluation
- Tsunami hazards (probabilistic assessments, wave modeling, runup and inundation evaluation)
Soil-structure interaction
- Dynamic and static analyses
Commercial seismic hazard and risk software
- Probabilistic and Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis Software (EZ-FRISKTM, FRISK88TM)
- Structure and Portfolio Risk (ST-RISKTM, ALLRISKTM)
These disciplines can be customized to fit the needs of any project.
