About Shaking

Our company is a spin-off of the University “G. D’Annunzio” of Chieti – Pescara (Italy), founded in 2023. We provide services in the field of seismic hazard, using a modern earthquake geology approach and developing innovative methodologies for hazard assessment. We are specialized in seismic hazard evaluations, starting from the gathering of active/seismogenic fault parameters to the development and application of probabilistic models for both ground shaking and fault displacement hazard analysis. We help our clients in evaluating the safety of pre-existing or in design-stage infrastructures, providing numerical quantification of the hazards for the development of risk-based strategies.
