Crosby Group provides a unique service to its clients in the
form of a presentation on the latest in structural technologies. This
presentation visually and graphically informs designers and owners of what
it means to design for earthquakes; i.e., what is the impact of earthquakes
at the various seismic levels and how buildings will perform at those
levels. We then discuss the newest technologies that have come out of
Japan, Italy, etc. that we can implement to mitigate seismic damage; i.e.,
un-bonded braces, composites, passive dampening, base isolation, etc. See
some of the poorest performing structures and why they failed in
earthquakes all over the world. Contact us if you're interested in a very
educational and informative presentation of the latest in structural
technologies.
WHAT FIRMS HAVE TOLD US ABOUT OUR PRESENTATION:
"We at CAS Architects were fascinated and impressed
with Patrick Crosby's knowledge of the new structural seismic technologies.
The Crosby Group has the tools and know-how to support the collaborative /
innovative design team approach. Patrick Crosby is a structural engineer
who really knows."
Anthony Matisi, Principal
CAS Architects
"While I was very familiar with the ideas of
base-isolation as a method of mitigating the destructive potential of
earthquakes, I found the alternatives of unbonded bracing and passive
damping to be very interesting. The notion of dissipating energy in the
structure instead of resisting the force of a seismic event was a
completely new idea to me. Thank you very much for your interesting and
informative presentation."
