Scope Of Work
Geo-Advantec team performed a comprehensive geotechnical evaluation to provide information for design and construction of the project. The auditorium building was considered a historical site built circa 1930s’. Our field geotechnical study included conducting 5 borings, as deep as 60 feet, as well as measuring Vs30 (shear wave velocity for the upper 30 meters) at the field by using Spectral Analysis of Surface Wave (SASW) method. GAI team performed laboratory tests on selected samples as well as engineering analysis. And provided all the soils parameters complying with the methods outlined in ASCE 41-13. To evaluate the seismic hazard at the site, we conducted site-specific study (probabilistic and deterministic hazard analysis) and provide the structural team with the site-specific spectra.
