The launch of the model on Sunday coincided with the 48th anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Tangshan in northern China, which killed at least 300,000 and levelled the city. The project ...

The model projects what would happen from a single major earthquake, rather than a series of them. The deadliest and most destructive of the model’s three current scenarios would have an ...

The University of British Colombia research team developed a new system that keeps high-rises safe during major earthquakes.

A report by university officials says the NEES project will allow earthquake engineering the use of model-based simulation and integrate facilities across the nation via remote computer access.

While this model is being built for ... The ultimate hope is that the project reveals that a large wooden structure can be resilient to earthquakes, perhaps even performing better than a concrete ...

An international study published in Communications Earth & Environment has advanced earthquake simulations to better anticipate the rupture process of large earthquakes. Using data for the Turkey ...

"However, by investigating faults and past quakes, scientists can better assess the likelihood of future earthquakes and how intense their shaking might be." The new model shows that the ...

A 3-D model of Renaissance is used to illustrate ... When asked if his council had considered earthquake risk when approving the project, he said: “Sadly, no.” In a statement, the contractors ...
