With the popularity of 3D-printed homes rising, University of Bristol scientists are using the UK’s largest shaking table to test their durability against earthquakes. As a rapidly emerging technology ...

Keywords: Earthquake engineering, seismic isolation, deformable rolling bearings, low-cost isolation for lightweight structures, triaxial shake table testing, and isolator behavior modeling. Abstract: ...

Scientists have built a lab model that visually tracks how microscopic contact points between fault surfaces evolve during earthquake cycles, revealing the hidden mechanics behind both the slow ...

A 10-story cold-formed steel-framed building will soon be put to the test on an earthquake simulator at the University of California San Diego to see how well it can withstand earthquakes. The UC San ...
