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 ...

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.

Colorado State University along with Simpson Strong-Tie and other partners successfully led the world’s largest earthquake shake table test in Japan yesterday, proving that midrise wood-frame ...

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 ...

It’s a humbling sound: middle-schoolers hearing a structure crash into pieces after they spent the past five weeks building it. For Jefferson Middle School student Emma Davis, it’s also a familiar ...

The addition of flexural stiffeners on the transformer cover plates was explored as a means to stiffen the base of the bushings and mitigate their seismic vulnerability. Numerical and experimental ...

An experimental program using a 6 degree-of-freedom earthquake simulator at the University at Buffalo was executed to generate data for supporting validation of numerical models for seismic ...

Scientists will set fire to an empty 10-story building in Scripps Ranch early Wednesday, producing smoke that will be visible to people in rush-hour traffic on Interstates 15 and 805. The experiment ...
