Pei‘s next project is to prepare the rocking-wall system proposal for the 2028 update of ASCE/SEI 7, the design bible for buildings. In his spare time, Shiling Pei watches woodworking videos on ...
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.
Last month, a seismic shake test was conducted on a 10-story wooden structure—the world’s tallest building to be tested on a shake table earthquake simulator. The goal? To validate the strength of ...
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 ...
Unprecedented Laminar Soil Box System demonstrates state-of-the-art design and engineering expertise
The new Large-Scale Laminar Soil Box System is the latest addition to the University of Nevada, Reno’s world-renowned earthquake engineering complex. It is the largest such facility in the U.S. and ...
Civil engineering students from five universities will put their high-rise building models to the test on Saturday on the shake table at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences' Structural ...
