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 ...

Structural engineers at UC San Diego were waiting to see how a tall building, made from recycled steel, would react in a 6.9 magnitude earthquake. The earthquake shake table was ready to go as the ...

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, ...
