Early results from an earthquake simulation test last week at UB suggest that cold-formed steel buildings may be able to withstand major earthquakes. The building, 120 feet long and 30 feet high, ...

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 ...

It's one thing to build a model building and test its quake resistance on a laboratory shake table. It's quite another to do the experiment in the field and shake an actual building in the real world ...

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 ...

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 ...
