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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at the University of Bristol have used the UK’s largest shaking table to mimic conditions of a medium-magnitude earthquake to assess the potential damage to a 3D-printed building. The ...
