Geotechnical & Earthquake Engineering

At M2 Consultants, we approach geotechnical and earthquake engineering not just as a technical service, but as a responsibility, to ensure that every structure we support can withstand the uncertainties of seismic activity. Our work combines advanced analytical techniques with practical design sensibilities, tailored to each project’s geological context.

Geotechnical & Earthquake Engineering services include:

  • Seismic Hazard Assessments

    We evaluate site-specific seismic risks, including fault rupture, ground shaking, and liquefaction, to guide safe and resilient design strategies.

  • Ground Motion and Site Response Analysis

    Using site-specific geologic profiles, we develop seismic design parameters and simulate how earthquake waves interact with subsurface conditions.

  • Liquefaction Potential and Mitigation

    Through field data, empirical models, and numerical simulations, we assess liquefaction risk and design mitigation such as densification or drainage.

  • Seismic Slope Stability Evaluation

    We evaluate slope performance under static and dynamic conditions to prevent earthquake-triggered landslides and instabilities.

  • Seismic-Resilient Foundation Design

    Our foundation solutions range from deep foundations to soil improvement and seismic isolation techniques for performance-based design.

  • Earthquake-Induced Settlement Analysis

    We estimate post-seismic settlements and recommend countermeasures to preserve serviceability and long-term structural integrity.

  • Seismic Retrofit Consulting

    We assess vulnerabilities in existing infrastructure and propose targeted retrofitting solutions to enhance seismic performance.

  • Peer Review & Code Compliance

    Our peer reviews ensure geotechnical design submissions are technically sound, code-compliant, and ready for agency approval.
