Impact
Established a reference for seismic evaluation and captured the building’s response during a small overnight earthquake.
Challenge
The federal building’s response needed measurement to support Thornton Tomasetti’s seismic evaluation.
STRAAM approach
STRAAM measured the seven-story concrete building’s dynamic characteristics and recorded overnight response to a small seismic event.
Result
The overnight observations documented how the building responded to a small seismic event alongside its everyday movement, supporting the engineer’s evaluation.
