• Post-Earthquake Safety & Damage Assessment

  Each year, approximately 16 major earthquakes of 7.0 magnitude or higher occur globally with the potential to cause devastating damage, particularly when the epicenter is in a populated area. With a multidisciplinary approach to earthquake engineering and nearly five decades of experience, Exponent is uniquely qualified to determine the nature and extent of earthquake damage, evaluate the contributions of perhaps several causal factors, and identify the most appropriate repairs.
