A 10-story building made from cold-formed steel held up to a generated earthquake by the earthquake shake table at UC San ...

Researchers at UC San Diego on Friday put a 10-story, cold-formed steel building to the test, simulating how the structure would move in the midst of a major earthquake.

UC San Diego’s earthquake shake table will test a ten story building built from a lightweight recycled steel to possibly expand its use for tall structures in earthquake zones.

Right now, the site is buzzing with activity as engineers get ready to put to the test a 10-story cold-formed steel building this summer. As the UC San Diego structural engineers and their colleagues ...

UC San Diego is preparing to use its outdoor shake table in Scripps Ranch to determine whether 10-story buildings made of cold-formed steel can withstand massive earthquakes.

Cold-formed steel-framed building The 10-story building's skeleton is made from cold-formed sheets of construction-grade steel that are then shaped at room temperature to make individual structural ...

Currently, building codes in the United States only allow cold-formed steel-framed buildings up to 65 feet (20 meters), or about six stories tall. The research team from UC San Diego and Johns Hopkins ...

The use of Cold-Formed Steel is central to the project, offering benefits such as structural integrity and fire resistance. These features, along with the efficient construction process, make The ...
