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 ...

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 ...

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — “We are creating our own earthquake,” Tara Hutchinson, a professor of structural engineering at UCSD said. UC San Diego’s Englekirk Structural Engineering Center is home to ...

It takes just seconds for tall buildings to collapse during earthquakes. Knowing what's happening in those seconds can help engineers design buildings that are less prone to sustaining that kind of ...
