A 10-story mass timber “rocking” frame, designed to be resilient enough to withstand powerful earthquakes with little or no structural damage, proved its worth May 9 during seismic simulations at the ...

On May 9, a 10-story tower was deliberately shaken with forces equal to a magnitude 6.7 earthquake, followed, minutes later, by the equivalent of a 7.7 quake. Designed by Portland, Oregon– and Los ...

Simulating the physical movements of earthquakes isn’t an easy task. However, shake tables provide an accurate and visually stimulating way to determine how a rumbler may affect a bridge, building or ...

Building codes will be changing soon, now that a study at UC San Diego found a common steel building column won’t withstand the stress of a strong earthquake. KPBS Science and technology reporter ...

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — “We are creating our own earthquake,” Tara Hutchinson, a professor of structural engineering at UCSD said. UC San Diego’s Englekirk Structural Engineering Center is home to ...

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 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 ...
