To make sure buildings and infrastructure are increasingly earthquake-safe, engineers must understand how seismic activity affects different structures. A new era in large-scale earthquake engineering ...
The structural safety of the buildings we live and work in is not something that many of us think about. In the event of an earthquake, how protected are you, your family, and your belongings from the ...
SEATTLE — University of Washington researchers are in San Diego conducting earthquake tests with the tallest building ever on a shake table. This project pushes for widespread use of laminated wood in ...
An experimental program using a 6 degree-of-freedom earthquake simulator at the University at Buffalo was executed to generate data for supporting validation of numerical models for seismic ...
