SEISMIC EVALUATION AND RETROFIT

ZAPATA provides seismic evaluation and retrofit services for U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs facilities, energy and nuclear power stations, and infrastructure projects – working in high seismic zones across the USA, from California and Washington to South Carolina.

ZAPATA has seismic experts, including PhD structural engineers, who specialize in the design, assessment, and analysis of structures to resist the effects of seismic forces. They perform seismic evaluations and retrofit designs in accordance with ASCE 41 and applicable Federal standards.

ZAPATA has experience with Tier 1, 2, and 3 seismic evaluations, including advanced Tier 3 structural modeling with ASCE 41. This experience includes evaluation of both structural and non-structural components for seismic safety.

ZAPATA has extensive experience inspecting facilities for non-structural anchorage. Above-the-ceiling spaces pose significant challenges for seismic anchorage due to congestion.

This is a typical example of seismic cable bracing applied to a pipe support trapeze. Unfortunately, the pipe is not attached to the trapeze rendering it ineffective.

Here is a shed roof attached to several independent buildings. This creates a significant safety hazard as the roof’s attachment will break free of the buildings during an earthquake.

This is a typical example of the above-ceiling space in modern buildings. Planning for appropriate seismic anchorage requires grouping utilities together and supporting them from common, braced trapeze hangers.

Here is a photograph of an interior partition wall under construction. The wall is not braced at its top, creating a falling debris hazard in an earthquake. The drop ceiling in this area is also insufficiently detailed for seismic resistance.

This photograph shows a large centrifugal chiller resting on spring vibration isolators without any positive seismic restraint between the chiller and its foundation.
