Specialists in Geotechnical Engineering, Earthquake Engineering and Seismology with diverse project experience throughout the United States and abroad.
Dr. Singh has been in professional practice for over 55 years and has worked on numerous projects involving dams and embankments, buildings, major industrial and refinery installations, defense facilities, offshore platforms, ports and harbor facilities, bridges, nuclear power plants, liquid natural gas facilities, pipelines and transmission lines and industrial disposal sites throughout the United States and abroad. He has worked on many world prestigious projects such as Bank of America World Headquarters and Transamerica Pyramid – the tallest buildings and landmarks of San Francisco; Golden Gate Bridge – the world famous landmark in San Francisco; Tacoma Narrows Bridge – a classic resonance failure cited in every Physics text book; Trans Alaska Pipeline – World’s largest and the most difficult project; Port of Oakland and Port of Los Angeles – World’s two largest Container Ports. Two of his projects, Golden Gate Bridge and Trans-Alaska Pipeline, have been cited as the two of the nine Top Nine Seismic Projects of the 20th Century by the Applied Technology Council.
An international leader in earthquake engineering and seismology, Dr. Singh has been invited as expert speaker/participant in over 60 Conferences, Seminars and Workshops in USA and abroad. He has authored more than 100 technical papers and chaired numerous committees related to seismic risk reduction and building code related issues.
Dr. Singh has participated in many post-earthquake investigations of devastating earthquakes throughout the world to include 1985 Mexico Earthquake, 1985 Chile Earthquake, 1992 Costa Rica Earthquake, 1995 Kobe, Japan earthquake, the 2001 Republic Day Bhuj, India Earthquake and more recently the 2004 Great Sumatra-Andaman Nicobar Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami to learn how manmade structures and geotechnical improvements stand and fall when the earth shakes and moves and implement lessons learned into the earthquake resistant design.
Dr. Singh, with unflagged energy, has participated in numerous activities pertaining to geologic hazards and seismic code issues sponsored by U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, National Science Foundation, Federal Emergency Management Agency, California Seismic Safety Commission, Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, National Center of Earthquake Engineering Research, American Petroleum Institute, National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences, Structural Engineers Association of California, State of California Building Safety Board, State of California Division of Mines and Geology, State Mining and Geology Board, California Department of Transportation, Washington State Department of Transportation, San Francisco Bay and Conservation and Development Commission, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the Secretariat of the International Decade for National Disaster Reduction.
