Researchers have successfully simulated a high magnitude earthquake on the largest building ever tested, and the structure survived. Global interest in mass timber construction -- which involves thick ...

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 ...

In earthquake-prone areas like Japan, there is a need for better prediction of soil stability to mitigate liquefaction risks. Towards this end, researchers have used machine learning models, including ...

The building was "dancing" underneath the simulator, scientists said. Researchers have successfully simulated a high magnitude earthquake on the largest building ever tested, and the structure ...
