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

Research at the shake table is far from complete. 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.

A "shake table" using steel beams and hydraulics to mimic seismic activity is receiving its biggest experiment yet: a 10-story wooden building Search for: Science ...

UC San Diego’s shake table is part of the NSF’s 14-site earthquake simulation network, and each site enables researchers to test a large-scale or full-scale catastrophe.

Buildings made of mass timber – layers of wood bonded together – are gaining popularity as greener and faster alternatives to concrete and steel structures. With new building codes recently updated to ...

For earthquake simulations, one of the services we provide are shake tables. Currently, there are two, relocatable, 7.0m x 7.0m platforms with six-degrees of freedom. Each table is capable of 50 tons ...

When the new table was demonstrated, it simulated the 1994 Northridge, Calif., earthquake that measured 6.7 on the Richter scale, and 2008’s magnitude 4.7 earthquake in Mogul, Nev.

This week saw a mock five-storey hospital built upon a 'shake table' and subjected to a fake 8.8-magnitude earthquake in order to see how hospitals would function in a real disaster and to see the ...

May 9 shake table tests at UC San Diego included simulations of magnitude-6.7 and magnitude-7.7 quakes. Courtesy Colorado School of Mines, UC San Diego, NEHRI TallWood Project ...

BRUNSWICK St. John’s Catholic School students got an eyeful of earthquakes on Tuesday. Middle school science teacher Deb Johnson led her eighth grade students in the 3rd annual Earthquake Shake ...

Research conducted by Civil Engineering Professor Keri Ryan and her team last May is advancing the relatively new field of non-structural earthquake engineering. The team’s work was part of a ...
