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 ...

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 ...

A 10-story building looms above UC San Diego’s earthquake shake table near Scripps Ranch. Next week, the device will simulate an earthquake to see whether a structure made from a lightweight, recycled ...

Tara Hutchinson, a professor in the UC San Diego Department of Structural Engineering, is the lead researcher on a series of tests on a 10-story, cold-formed steel-framed building at the UC San Diego ...

The tallest steel-framed building ever tested on an earthquake simulator started moving slowly, swaying and twisting. The 10-story, 100-foot structure was experiencing simulations of real earthquakes, ...

Mehdi "Saiid" Saiidi held the third in a series of three bridge shake table tests Oct. 5. The high amplitude tests determine if the bridge model is durable enough to withstand powerful earthquakes.

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 ...

UC San Diego is preparing to use its outdoor shake table in Scripps Ranch to determine whether 10-story buildings made of cold-formed steel can withstand massive earthquakes. The height limit for ...

Pile foundations support vital structures in regions prone to seismic activity, yet their performance in liquefiable soils remains complex and critical for safe design. Seismic shaking can induce ...
