SEISMIC RETROFIT QUALIFICATIONS

PERFORMANCE-BASED QUALIFICATIONS

Saiful/Bouquet is a leader in the use of Performance-Based Seismic Design and state-of-the-art Nonlinear

Seismic Analysis methods for the design of new buildings and the seismic retrofit of existing buildings. SBI

has performed nonlinear analyses for buildings constructed from a variety of construction materials ,

including steel, concrete, and masonry, and buildings utilizing high-tech energy dissipation devices such as

base-isolation, manufactured dampers and buckling restrained braced frames.

SBI is proud to be a team of structural engineers with a strong technical background and several of SBI’s team

members are considered experts in the fields of performance-based seismic design, advanced structural

analysis methods and special technologies. SBI’s background in earthquake engineering, coupled with advanced

engineering knowledge and active participation in the development of earthquake engineering codes and

provisions, provides our clients with innovative cost-effective structural solutions based on cutting edge

technology.

In addition to our wide range of project experience, SBI’s engineering staff strives to keep abreast of the

latest technological advancements and research results through participation in various professional

associations and as part of university research projects. Our structural engineers serve on several task force

and technical committees at the local, state and national level and committees who are responsible for

developing new seismic design guidelines and codes, including the Los Angeles Tall Buildings Structural Design

Council, the PEER Tall Buildings Initiative and ASCE 41 Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings.

SBI’s experience covers a broad range of the most commonly used commercial and publicly available nonlinear

analysis software packages used today, such as Perform-3D, SAP2000, ETABS, DRAIN, IDARC and OpenSees.

SBI has worked closely with Graham Powell, UC Berkeley Professor Emeritus and the developer of the

Perform-3D software, as one of the first structural firms to use Perform-3D to model concrete shear wall

buildings and base-isolation systems. Before Perform-3D was widely used by the industry, SBI played a vital

role in testing, debugging and providing software enhancement ideas for new versions of the Perform-3D

software.

SBI has a network of high-performance computers using the latest computing technology dedicated solely for

the purpose of performing nonlinear analysis.

Publications

The principals of SBI have presented / published numerous technical papers on seismic analysis and design,

including many on the advanced nonlinear seismic analysis of buildings. These papers have been published in

both national and international Professional Journals and Conference Proceedings. A list of selective

publications is provided within.
