Researchers from six universities are studying how a timber building will withstand an earthquake by testing its resiliency on a shake table at the University of California San Diego. Image courtesy ...

Structural dynamics testing offers capabilities for quasi-static and dynamic testing of small- and large-scale structural components and systems (e.g., large-scale concrete columns and frames) under ...

Research engineers at the University of Nevada, Reno’s world-renowned earthquake engineering lab are getting ready to shake up a million pounds of steel and sand. Construction is underway on one of ...

New York City's brick houses would fall apart if an earthquake the size of the one that struck in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2011 hit near the metropolis, a recent earthquake simulation found. The ...

A 10-story building looms above UC San Diego’s earthquake shake table near Scripps Ranch. Next week, the device will simulate an earthquake to see whether a structure made from a lightweight, recycled ...

Research on one of the world's largest earthquake simulators has made buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure more earthquake-safe. Homes, offices, parking garages, bridges and other structures ...
