Earthquake Assessments Of Buildings And Facilities: Why Customized Options Are Important
Probable Maximum Loss assessments (PMLs) are utilized by property owners, investors, lenders, and others to understand and control seismic-related risks. Seismic risk assessments evaluate how a property would fare in an earthquake. Not all clients view risks the same way, which means that the evaluation of earthquake risks takes on different forms for different clients. […]

Data Centers And Data Centers for AI: What Is The Difference In Seismic Bracing Design?
As artificial intelligence continues to revolutionize industries, the infrastructure supporting it must evolve too. The electricity demand from AI data centers makes up 24% of the entire server electricity demand. As such, the seismic bracing design needs for data centers for AI vary somewhat from traditional data centers, as they are more complicated, there are more of them, and such projects are typically fast-tracked.
