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 ...
SAN DIEGO — SAN DIEGO — UC San Diego's outdoor shake table is pushing the boundaries of earthquake engineering, testing full-scale buildings to enhance California's resilience against seismic events.
This special series focuses on important community issues, innovative solutions to societal challenges, and people and non-profit groups making an impact through technology. by Kurt Schlosser on May 8 ...
On May 9, a 10-story tower was deliberately shaken with forces equal to a magnitude 6.7 earthquake, followed, minutes later, by the equivalent of a 7.7 quake. Designed by Portland, Oregon– and Los ...
Pei‘s next project is to prepare the rocking-wall system proposal for the 2028 update of ASCE/SEI 7, the design bible for buildings. In his spare time, Shiling Pei watches woodworking videos on ...
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 ...
A team of researchers from the University of California, San Diego and Johns Hopkins University tested a 10-story, cold-framed steel building for seismic safety on Monday morning. The 10-story ...
