Seismic Hazard Evaluation and Ground Motion Studies

Geosyntec has played a leading role in the development of state-of-the-art liquefaction and seismic analyses for more than 20 years and has pioneered designing economical structures that safely resist the loads caused by earthquakes.

A concrete dam spans a river between forested hills under a cloudy sky, with calm water reflecting the structure and exposed riverbanks visible on both sides.

Practice Specifics

Geosyntec is recognized nationally and internationally for our capability to analyze the liquefaction potential of dam embankments and their foundations, as well as to assess the impact of liquefaction on bridges, buildings, and other structures. Geosyntec has performed liquefaction evaluations for hundreds of projects, including assessment of the consequences of liquefaction and development of solutions to mitigate concerns.

These solutions have included ground improvement designs followed by testing during construction to verify that design objectives were met.
